| Projects & overhauls | 2013 by Whitechapel Bell Foundry (ring created) A new ring installed as 6 with the intention of shortly becoming 8. They were formed from 5 bells (via Keltek) from the Mount Zion church of the former children’s home at Quarriers Village, Bridge of Weir, which had been equipped with a set of 12 bells cast by Gillett & Johnston of Croydon in 1946, and new treble. |
