St. James’ Church Bells Are Back!

Awaiting installation

In May the bells were removed from St. James’ Church tower for restoration and tuning.  Today they’re being re-installed.  It’s a precision operation requiring a very large crane.  The biggest bell only has 3/4 inch clearance on either side of the opening.

Here they are awaiting installation.  We’ll head back this afternoon to see the rest of the process.  Stay tuned!

  2. Yes indeed, with a bit of time for the bellringer to practise. They added four new bells to the array...
