St
Katherine
Cree |
 |
These
bells have been unringable for upwards of 100 years and the wheels
and fittings were removed in 1910. Wheels have now been fitted to
the front 5 for some experimental ringing to monitor the impact on
the frame and tower. The tenor is to large and in a weak part of the
frame and tower to include in this experiment. |
| If all
goes well, the front 5 will be fully ringable in 2007 as a first
step to getting all 6 bells rehung in a new frame lower in the
tower, to be rung from the ground floor. Read more
here. |

St
Michael, Cornhill |
 |
An
offer has been received to replace the bells from St Michael's, Cornhill with a new ring
of 12, tenor 32cwt, cast by Taylors, Eayre & Smith. The 3rd, 4th and 7th
would be
retained for storage in the old upper frame. This project is currently subject to faculty.
A full inspection of the inscriptions has now been made and appears here (and anywhere!)
for the first time. |

St
Andrew Holborn |
Details of the bells here (being the last outstanding ring of bells to be surveyed
for London Lovesguide) now appears here.
|
St
Giles Cripplegate |
A sharp 2nd has
been cast for St Giles Cripplegate at the Whitechapel
Bell Foundry weighing 5-1-22. |
 |
A
New RIng of 12 bells for
St Magnus the Martyr |
| An appeal has been launched to install a new
ring of 12 bells to this tower to replace those bells that were lost in the War. This
project is being spearheaded by the church and the Ancient Society of College Youths. See
the APPEAL WEBSITE
for more information. |
