| Overhauled | 2023 by O'Shea Engineering The 7th bell has been rehung on new gudgeons and bearings with its hang being altered to better suit the ring. The 5th bell has been quarter turned. The clappering in 7th and tenor have been re-worked to produce better grading (timer shafts and clapper throws altered). Adjustable crown staples have been fitted to all bells to eradicate odd-struckness with all existing clappers refurbished Also, a new clapper assembly in 5th, replacement of bell bolts and new stays and slider gear on 7 and 5 |
