 This shows the bellframe which has been treated with a coat of rust inhibitor and a prime coat. A gloss coat is yet to be applied.

 Above is the original smallest bell, dated 1713. This bell will be hung dead in a separate frame and a hammer will strike the hour on this bell.

 This is the original 2nd bell, will be the 4th in the new ring. It has be moved onto the top of the frame to allow space for the new bells to be raised into the belfry.

Sound Control To Be Installed Soon

After the completion of the building of the new ringing room floor, work is to begin soon on the installation of new woodwork on the inside of the louvres. This will ensure that the level of noise from the bells can be controlled. The sound control, when installed, will contain small opening doors. These can be opened for service ringing and closed when bell ringing practices are taking place.
The new woodwork will be installed by Adrian Taylor who has installed the new ringing room floor. The work should begin within the next few weeks.
