<div style="color:black;font:10pt;">We have an order to retune (bells 1-3) and rehang the 4 at Brough with all new fittings.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sadly an offer by The Keltek Trust, to donate two trebles to make six, together with the associated bellframe, has been declined by the parish, as they believe that they have the heaviest ring of 4, and don't want to spoil that claim :-( </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hopefully the rehang will happen next year.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thank you for the replies from Chris, Ted and Mike. </div>
<div dir="ltr">Simon Adams and I visited the tower several months ago and it was suggested that bells 7 and 5, which ring in opposite directions, should be rung to test the stability of the tower. But there were, and are, problems ... shrouding that had fallen off the wheels, finding a structural engineer with specialist knowledge of bell installations (now that Adrian Dempster is retired), a suspicious white boarded ceiling installed in 1973 in the ringing room and the accumulated pigeon muck of decades. However, the shrouding has been made, the white boarding has proved not be be asbestos when sent for testing and much of the pigeon muck has been removed (by a local helper). The vicar is keen to get something done with the bells but they are far too heavy for the tower. </div>
<div dir="ltr">Sadly, the present situation will stop any further progress on this and on the restoration of the Arlecdon bells that would have started very soon. However, Brough is underway. The faculty was granted in the new year, lighting and power has been installed in the tower and the HLF grant application is being made.</div>
<div dir="ltr">An inspection of the bells in Watermillock church a couple of weeks ago revealed a bell I had not seen before hanging in a tower in Cumbria ... a Mears hemispherical bell (diam 29¾ ins) of 1891. Photos attached.<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div>
