| Projects & overhauls | Nicholson Engineering Ltd (in progress) List allThe bells were taken out of the tower on June 16, 2025. The 3rd will be welded in the crown at Soundwell. Three hugely arched headstocks and the other three flat-top headstocks by Taylor and Whitechapel will all be replaced by Nicholson and new clappers to provide a more suant ring of bells that go up right way. Corrosion in the frame will be corrected and the frame painted. Hastings stays will be replaced with sliders |
