BELLS
UPDATE, June 2009
New
Ropes – our Restoration Project was rounded off in late May by the
delivery and fixing of new bell ropes with smart new blue, green
and white striped sallies. We had waited a year as there is only
one remaining church bell rope maker in England. We were in line
behind St Paul’s Cathedral!
