Almost home after a 500 odd mile round trip to Brough (Cumbria) for the test ring. Thank you team for yet another splendid production….

Neil Thomas has been busy rehanging the tenor at the Church of S Cyriac & S Julitta, Swaffham Prior, with new gudgeons and self-aligning roller bearings. The bell frame surrounding this bell has also been strengthened with steel corner brackets and timber folding-wedges to reduce vertical deflection between the bell frame and its foundation beams. Despite most of the original bell fittings being reused, the bell goes extremely well. This Church is vested in The Churches Conservation Trust, but the bells are regularly rung for services in St Mary’s Church, which shares the same Churchyard.
