first in 1902 the second 2 in 1904. The first peal was commemorated o=
n a
peal board which hung in the tower. It was thought that this board wa=
s
lost when the remaining artifacts were cleared out of the church at the end=
of
the 1970’s – the congregation have, since the mid-1970’s,=
met
in the adjacent church hall. However, in early 2002 I was made aware =
of
its continued existence in the church cellar where it appears to have lain =
for
over 20 years. Following some correspondence with the Church Elders I
have managed to obtain this peal board and it will ultimately hang in the t=
ower
of nearby Lightcliffe St. Matthew’s when we are in a position to lift=
a
trap door and haul it up.</span></font></p>

stands and has seen a variety of uses over the years – initially as a=

Arts and Crafts Centre and latterly as offices. The clock (or more li=

a new mechanism) has been re-installed but there are, of course, no chimes.
Oh, for a nice little 6 (or even 8) in the tower! For those of =
you
with a copy of TowerBase from dated August 2002 onwards you will find a pic=
