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
