The bells on display in the Church after their arrival back from the bellhangers
The bells are back!
The bells were returned to the village on 16th April. The following weekend the six original bells that were restored by the bellhangers were on display in the church, along with the two new bells that were cast in October. During the service on Sunday 18th April the Rector, the Reverend John Waller blessed the bells.
