Our Church Bell was returned from the Loughborough Bell Foundry yesterday, newly restored with its bright red mountings (known as a headstock) and bright redclapper. The bell, which is older than the church, dating from 180was cast by a Chesterfield foundry and had not been serviced since the Church was built in the 1860’s. The bell’s condition meant that it could come crashing down at anytime, so this restoration was long overdue. You might have heard it on Friday afternoon; the sound is fuller and more resonant.
Come and hear Jonathan Marshall ring it out on Sunday at the Songs of Praise service at 10am- all welcome!
Many thanks to all of you who have supported our concerts and other fund-raising events, these have enabled us to fund the £4,000 restoration bill- and many thanks to Lynette Coyne and Don Lowndes jnr. who assisted with the fitting of the Bell.
Thank you to Ben and Martin for the photos.
