[1]Project Status update (Mar 2023)
The last ringing at St Anne’s took place this morning (26th March 2023) - the bells will now be removed and returned to Taylors so that the planned project work (rehang and augmentation to 10) can commence.
Provisional date for the start of the installation of the newly cast front 6 and retuned/restored existing back 4 (to make a ring of 10) is 12th June 2023.
The existing front 4 bells are destined for the Keltek Trust in due course (possibly later this year) but will be stored at Taylors in the interim.
