The Bells of St. Mary's 

New Bells

 

Our bells were installed with help of public donations last century.

 

Taylors the bell-founders examining them recently described them as “a superb ring of eight … certainly one of the very best amongst some really impressive rings, not only in the Westcountry but throughout this country as a whole.”

 

Nicholson’s commented,

“The bells were made when Taylors were at the peak of their abilities and are widely regarded as one of the finest rings of eight bells in the country.  All are excellent castings and the bells were fully harmonically tuned by their founder.  The bells remain in good tune and form an instrument of superb quality.”

 

The bell frame now needs replacing at a cost of around £40,000.

 

It will be declared unsafe in 12 months unless work is completed.
