The  church is now redundant.  Permission has been granted for its conversion 
 into a holiday cottage.
 
Listed Building Consent was sought from Lancaster City Council for the  
removal of the two bells.  At the time the suggestion was that the  1296 bell would 
go to Hornby as a service bell and the Luke Ashton one would  go to St 
Peter's Quernmore, where there is a long term proposal for a light  ring of bells.  
However there was local opposition to removing them; the  1296 bell is the 
most notable feature of Claughton village.  So for the  moment they are still 
there.

Thanks to Jim, Peter & Chris for the info. The two bells were  delivered to 
our works today, as we are supposed to be making some replicas to  hang back in 
the turret. The larger bell is cracked in the waist and has also  lost its 
canons. The smaller bell is complete. If anyone wants to see them - let  me know!
 
Cheers,
 
Matthew
