I had an idea for you to consider for next year. Perhaps host a Christmas market fair, with the town involved of course. You could rent room space out for food spots, craft stalls, tutorials/classes even... It could be a beautiful event for everybody and bring the town together at the same time

[@mphillips6754]

You could have a weekly farmers market in the courtyard with the fruits and veg from the garden. The townspeople could bring their items for sale as well.

[@Tracy_R]

Perhaps a monthly flea marke or local veg market in the courtyard with rental table fee for townspeople. Then a Holiday market with Santa & all next year?

[@blondecardsncrafts]

What a wonderful idea! 😁

[@lindamurns1245]

That would be so cool!!!!

[@stuckinmopro8533]

You are an amazing team! The intelligence, strength and imagination that the bell project took is amazing! Great job!

[@kirkparker213]

My wife thought I was crazy when I told her that I had to temporarily stop our vacation so I could watch a video about a bell being lifted into a bell tower, but I am so absolutely invested in this channel and watching the transformation of the château and convent. We are all devoted fans Billy. Keep it up!

[@sharonweideger2411]

😁😁

[@anabelavandenheuvel480]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@northrupmj]

Same

[@Heatherkinz]

I grew up near a church that would ring everyday at noon and I feel so nostalgic anytime I hear a bell ringing in the distance. I’m sure there are locals in the village that will appreciate hearing your bell again. Great job!

[@mariagillinson8527]

Billy, Sean, Rick & Ryan what a an awesome group of guys and what an honour to bring back the bell to the convent so she can ring and bring people to prayers on day!

[@autodidactin]

I don’t think you could have had a better team to raise the bell into position. There is just something about Sean that radiates quiet confidence and strength. I think I was holding my breath during the entire elevation process and actually shed a tear when you gave the bell that tap and we were able to hear its lovely voice for the first time. Thank you so much Billy, Sean and Rick for taking us along on this epic, and somewhat dangerous adventure. You guys ROCK!

[@CherylSimser]

@Marliss Walther I love your description of the bell having a voice! I never thought of it that way but they surely do in times of emergency, sadness, and of course, joy. I look forward to hearing this magical bell ring out on Christmas Eve.

[@auntdave180]

How could anyone watch and not click the 👍🏻. Such a great moment at the convent. Can’t wait to hear it on Christmas Day! 🔔

[@donnahunter8500]

So wonderful to see the bell up! Your hardwork has paid off. I think the bell needs a name!?

[@wendykenney8145]

I was holding my breath too!

[@normamurray4450]

AMEN TO THAT!

[@ceeceemac9072]

“Safety first!” While hanging from the trusses. 😂 This one kept me on the edge of my seat. Shivers! Incredible job, everyone. Billy, you have found some amazing, talented men to help make your visions reality.

[@OzziePete1]

Sean & Rick are absolute champions for all this work that needs to be done. I really hope Billy is paying them well. Deserved.

[@dphillips1258]

Can't believe how amazing it feels to know the Bell is going up and will be reunited with a sense of purpose. Great work to you Michael and the whole gang on a job well done.

[@AshleySedon]

A terrific example of the Three Wise Men focused on a mission. Well done! Happy Christmas to The Pethericks team, and followers - may Peace prevail throughout our fragile world.

[@donnafink6262]

Who would have thought that hanging the bell would be so emotional. Well, it was. Such a joy to have it back in the tower and it would be terrific to hear it ring at Christmas of Christmas Eve. Great job you guys. It is amazing.

[@mariagillinson8527]

Dear Billy and team because of your good intentions and passion the angels will ring the bell at Christmas what a joy to witness this. Thank you so much! You all must be so proud.

[@reladie]

Glory to God in the highest and peace to all of good will.

[@wendytotton4048]

What a long awaited historical moment! Congratulations to all who helped make this happen.

[@tinycotswoldcottage]

What I really like is you don't scatter your energies. You work on a project start to finish before moving onto the next, clear up after yourself every day and go 'slow and steady wins the race'. It's so inspiring and I'm trying to apply the same to my projects.

[@justranda1]

Do you really live in a Cotswold Cottage? How magical, if so! ✨

[@kathytiffin6518]

Yes, your organizational and follow-through skills are an inspiration.

[@tinycotswoldcottage]

@@justranda1 yes! It's lovely. It's been a real project for the last few years but on a much smaller scale than Billy's ones!

[@jakebr8ke]

What a super special and exciting day! I may have shed a few tears when she was lifted and successfully placed. Congratulations on giving the chapel back her bell. ❤

[@kevinnoone4507]

BILLY AND THE GUYS HAVE DONE A AMAZING JOB YOU MUST BE SO PROUD TAKE YOUR PLACE IN THE HISTORY OF THE CONVENT ❤

[@LeslieNikulka]

Thank God you are all safe and the job is finished! Well done, men including Ryan who played a major role in the recording of this wonderful and historic event. Oh my goodness, Billy, this bell has a beautiful, rich tone. I cannot wait to hear it's song. Thank you so very much for sharing. ox

[@sleeplessstu]

Replacing the bell is so symbolic of the new life you’ve brought back to the convent and your dedication to bringing authenticity to your massive rebuild project. I can think of no better Christmas gift to the small town that surrounds the convent. I’ve really enjoyed watching your struggles through each step in this process. You’re truly becoming a craftsman and I love how you show your appreciation of the help you’ve gotten along your journey. It’s very heartwarming. 🔔 ❤. Merry Christmas to All !

[@jimharry8318]

I’m not sure why, but I’m so much more excited and proud of all of you getting the bell in place. Honestly it puts a smile on my heart to see this project completed. Thank you for the joy I’m feeling right now.

[@jenh9362]

Totally agree, I had to get a tissue.

[@jessicacarter3955]

The moment we have all been waiting.... Here it is, and it sounds so beautifully, if only for a second. Can't get enough of your channel, I've been watching religiously or maybe a little obsessed. I must say it's an honor to watch you and the boys restore a historic building. Only wish restoration of historic building was done more in America.

[@dawnmay5648]

Russell here and just wanting to say, Whenever I see the work you and your team take on it always inspires me to try different things that would normally be out of my comfort zone. Your last challenge that you had to reinstitute the tower bell and the supporting structure was an amazing feat. Well done and keep up the good work , I know that you will and we will keep watching.

[@pattyfrench4539]

This brought tears to my eyes Billie as I watched your love and care both towards your workers and this beautiful building. Can’t wait to hear the bell ringing.

[@thecrone7964]

Glad to hear I was not the only one.

[@familydutton6568]

Me too! It's really very encouraging to see. They really are such an incredible team!

[@ashleyfurman4565]

Great show😎 2:41

[@patoshea5351]

He needs to understand how to pull bell

[@niser54]

If is SO heartwarming watching a well-skilled team work so well together - BRAVO 🎉

[@freyallarganswald4746]

Today is the culmination of months of research, thought, trial and error and hard work. I’m in awe of what you have all achieved, not just with the bell but throughout the convent and grounds. You have a brilliant team there Billy ❤ Much love to you all from a cold but sunny Scotland. Xx

[@babbellotta7071]

marvelous, just in ohw about what you guy's got done! you gave back the voice to the convent and the people that live in the village! Let the bell ring and bring hope to people forever

[@arlinebond3501]

Well done to you and your amazing team, always a smile from Sean and Rick. I must admit my heart was in my mouth watching you put the bell in place. I love the respect you have for the chapel, it will be wonderful to hear the bell “sing”.

[@annaibarra3447]

🙏🏽

[@frankieleal4145]

I don’t know why I got emotional hearing the sound of the bell ring absolutely beautiful. I so appreciate the care you and your team put into the Convent.

[@anneronco9343]

I can’t think of anything more Christmassy than installing the bell in its tower, well done to all the team for all your hard work what an achievement !

[@mariagillinson8527]

I knew I’d be emotional but I cried like a baby in memory of all the nuns that called this home and all the prayers over the years that were and are raised to the heavens 😂 thank you for making my Christmas Billy & Gwenn and all the Petherick. Omg you should invite the Mayor to reopen the chapel one day. Make it a proper formal day! Once you decide the use of it.

[@antsquirly7654]

Admittedly, tears came to my eyes when Billy gave us that sampling of a peal. How long had the tower been silent.

[@helenpang2970]

My favourite 3 strong and handsome guys - Billy, Sean and Rick - doing awesome things that bring joy and warmth to us. May God bless you all.

[@foretb1162]

What I find amazing is the amount of work experience Shaun has. He reminds me of me before I retired. In my lifetime I've worked in 12 different career opportunities. It has taught me that in Life, you choose the work that makes you happy. It's the meat that keeps on giving. Out of the 12, 7 of them were volunteer seasons which I absolutely loved! Thank you Shaun for contributing to the resurgence of the convent. Your professionalism, expertise and good nature makes you the ideal employee. I imagine that the first peal of the bell will be like a wake up call in the village. You will reawakened the spirit of many! Thank you so much Billy for giving this gift to the villagers. History is never lost. It is what brings the past to the present so we can discover its hidden secrets. Looking forward to hearing the peal for the first time. BTW - the bell rings the note of E.

[@FarmgirlFriday]

Great team! I love that you hadn’t even hardly said ‘we have a potential difficulty’ and Shawn and Rick were like ‘nope, we’ve got this!’ The bell sounds lovely and I’m sure it will serve you and community well for many many years.

[@aw3946]

It is so nice to see that the work being completed on the convent is being carried out with such respect. The installation of the bell being the icing on the cake!!!

[@casham6239]

Sean and Rick are absolutely some of the best handymen/friends a person could ever wish to have!

[@louisewebb2036]

It's an awesomely heart warming moment seeing the Bell being hoisted into the tower. Beautiful and Mejesticly fitting; like a lost love one coming back where they should be. Love it ❤️! From Denton, Texas, USA to all of ya'll: "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Gods blessings for health, happiness, and safety.

[@kellyhazen3994]

I can wait to hear it ring Christmas morning! What a moment that will be. I hope all of you sign and date that beam. My father restored old buildings, we were always thrilled to find little pieces of history, with dates and crafters names. Sometimes things were wrapped in news papers or notes.

[@1956suzie]

Wow that was exciting , loved hearing the bell. Thanks Billy and the rest of the team and Michael too for his contribution as well. What a treat it would be for the people of the town to hear it ring on Christmas day.

[@GullCottageAntiques2096]

This show was so inspiring! Goes to prove that when everyone works together even the "heaviest" of projects can be accomplished. The Convent could not be in better hands than yours Billy. Sean and Rick are super craftsmen and have such sweet personalities. May you all have a splendid Christmas and may the gorgeous bell ring and ring on Christmas day. Merry - Merry!

[@maggiebarrier612]

An amazing accomplishment by "Team Terrific!" Looking forward to hearing this beautiful Bell come back to life on Christmas day. Such joy!

[@paulinelogan1400]

What a fantastic job the three of you have constructed to bring the convent back to life well done all of you x

[@sarahburton3110]

Congratulations on mounting the Bell for Christmas 😊 I hope the local townsfolk realise how lucky they are to have the sound of ringing bells in the town restored

[@janstevens8120]

Oh my goodness, it makes my heart sing to hear the Chapel Bell ring once again. ❤ The nuns would be so happy to know that you have brought life back into the convent. Bravo Billy & the Boys for all the hard work getting the bell in place! 😊

[@wsherratt5159]

Guys, a great piece of team work that went like the clappers! Seriously, when that bell peals, it will bring back memories for all the local community and inspire others to join you in the progress. I like the comments made about a community area in the old chapel and such an event would allow locals to come and see the work you and the team have achieved. There is so much more to what you are doing than just the renovation. You have a great opportunity to bring community together. The best of luck to you all. W

[@mrp6841]

I am so impressed on how you are striving to restore the Convent to it's original glory. Thank you for your respect and enthusiasm in bringing back the integrity and beauty of the place. Your care and hard work speaks volumes about your character.

[@lisaakinlabi]

My fear of heights really kicked in, as I knew it would at this point in your journey. Good thing you all braved the task. I was so nervous! Congratulations! The sound is amazing, it will be a joy to hear a full ring.

[@carolyna2138]

What a wonderful accomplishment to you all. We need more people in this world with the passion you show for preserving history rather than replacing. Keep going with your team. Have a wonderful Christmas. Best wishes from Australia.

[@dianam9848]

I always get inspired by your positive energy and teamwork, and my chores seem easier compared to yours. There's nothing we can't do!

[@wendy_lee]

It's so exciting to be taking such huge steps in the restoration! Just love every one of the crew you have! That winch and EcoFlow certainly makes all the difference. Leaves me in awe with how they did such difficult tasks in the past.

[@ritapittman6520]

I'm so happy to see that you've finally got the bell hanging in the tower! You have an incredible team and you all work so hard. I can't wait to hear the bell ringing.

[@melissahalbert9455]

Happy days! The Convent bell tower once again has a bell! How lovely! Well done Billy and the crew! ⛪🛎

[@michelleholmes826]

So glad to see the bell finally put in it's rightful place! The tone is beautiful! It's nice to see all the safety precautions you took for yourself and your fantastic crew. Wonderful job!! The bell needs to ring in the new year!!❤

[@grantknight]

Such a milestone. Been waiting for the day for that bell to make its way to a forever home. Good job. Great team of hardworking and committed people!

[@claretan5469]

That bell is absolutely STUNNING!!! A true work of art! Well done Billy! Well done Sean and Rick for carrying it all ❤

[@bobberg3204]

One of the best episodes yet. A real mile stone.

[@wrenfall1574]

The bell looks amazing, and the sound when Billy gave a little test ring was lovely. Congratulations to the whole team on a job well done.

[@dawnmay5648]

I loved Sean’s joke about when are the two handsome men going to arrive !🤣

[@kathylindsay8176]

The big day is here!!! What a selfless act for the community. Thrilled that a bell is back in place. The memories it will spark for the older people and the new memories it will create for the younger ones. Great Job team Convent!!!

[@Stephen_A.]

There is nothing you guys can't do when you work together ! 💙

[@mariefix9562]

I am so impressed by the teamwork and skill that you used to make this succeed! Watching all the work on the convent warms my heart!

[@dangerartglass]

I am so inspired by your projects. I'm just over cancer and I want to fix up my house. Thank you so much!

[@marybakerjacobs957]

Hurray! What an achievement! What a team! Hurray! When you gave it a ring, I had tears in my eyes. I'm so proud of you guys!

[@jeancarver6599]

I cried through the entire video, with anxiety for you Billy and for having success!!! The convent and bell meant so much to your fans, almost as much as you guys!!

[@paulapautler9188]

Well Done!!! I was nervous just watching you all standing on the beams. The bell sways so smoothly and I was happy you rang the bell, it has a nice ring. It is so great what you have done and are doing with all your restorations with the convent and the chateau. We need more people like you.

[@peterainge9092]

It's so lovely to see a good team of people caring about a historically important building. Well done lads. The place now has, rightfully, a bell, back where it belongs. Love the Channel.

[@mariadavies1511]

Amazing episode seeing everyone working as a team. So nice to hear the sound of the bell. You can ring in the New Year. Congratulations to everyone.

[@rjb9886]

Congratulations to the Convent team! How fun to bring “I Heard the Bells” to life on Christmas.

[@mandyedgar4663]

[@helenmoore8743]

I was so excited for this episode! I think I clenched my teeth the whole time! Such a beautiful job. Can't wait for the Christmas ringing of the bell!! 🔔🎶

[@amandamcmurray7106]

Gosh I actually found this really hard to watch as I have a totally irrational fear of heights and was in total awe of you all and how easily you all made it up there. Absolutely brilliant, I think you are all fantastic and love my daily dose of the Pethericks. Merry Christmas

[@cher128bx]

Christmas Greetings from the U.S. Billy, you have a pretty amazing and talented group of people helping you on this mammoth transformation journey. Every one of them have been propelled to Rock Star status. We, your faithful viewers, applaud you all.

[@otonieldejesus1675]

I’m amazed how hard you all work. It’s never ending And everyone is very knowledgeable about all of the château and the convent . Love to watch and love the friendship you all have. Keep up the hard work and look forward to many years of watching

[@laurenj8888]

So glad you didn’t have to lift that bell up into the tower! That winch did a great job!

[@debdaubert7652]

Totally gobsmacked over how much dedication you all put into getting a bell in the tower again! Awesome guys

[@milesmcclelland2453]

Love how you always think of the health and safety of the team, Billy.

[@ronimiller1875]

That was so fun and satisfying to watch! That said, I think that you and Sean were very brave to stand on that narrow beam as you installed it. And Sean and Rick were very brave to be below and guide it upwards! Wow, can't wait to "hear the bell on Christmas day!" You will make the whole town happy.

[@bdlodahl]

Congratulations Billy on completing your hard fought for dream of getting a suitable bell back in the convent 🔔 tower! Also congrats to your hardworking, loyal, supportive team that help you everyday in every way possible to forge forward restoring and re-purposing this beautiful historic structure for new life! Merry Christmas to you, your team and your beautiful family! Thank you for all your effort to capture your journey on video and share it with those of us who are enchanted with the beauty, architecture, art and history of France, but very likely will never be able to see it in person at my ¾ century age. I love your channel! Now, let's just "Crack on!" to the next adventure or project! ♥️

[@terrigray6044]

You and your crew certainly earn the award for ingenuity and perseverance! Great job!

[@tuffy4230]

I have to admit I was holding my breath in nervousness. So happy for you to have accomplished so much!

[@ronlindemann9875]

Watching you put the bell in the tower makes me feel very proud for you. It’s as if the bell is the heartbeat that was missing from the convent. She’s now I live again.

[@bgs216]

My Mum and I watch your channel together and we are so excited to see the convent transform before our eyes. You're breathing life back into things. Thank you for all the amazing videos. Merry Christmas!

[@louisegatti9262]

That was so cool Billy, watching the bell being placed in it's new home. The music alone set the mood. You had me in tears watching this episode. And then one small little sound of the bell ringing, so awesome, what a lovely sound it made. Thanks to Sean and Rick, I wondered how you would get that bell up there, you've got great help!!!

[@yawnyetta6875]

Just amazing what you all do! So excited for you all! It’s a magical time. Thanks for including us all in this journey. ❤

It’s fabulous to have a bell back and I’m sure the townsfolk are going to be surprised and pleased to hear it ring on Christmas Day 😊 What a great job you have achieved. Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and a prosperous and healthy 2023.

[@brianhewett9117]

The bell sounds fantastic Billy! It's lower pitched and richer sounding than I thought it would be. It has great sustain and the overtones are not overly harsh. Very musical sounding. Fantastic find. Thanks for giving us a sample ring

[@birdyflying8834]

It would be so cool to have the community gathered on Christmas morning to hear the bell ring at the convent...once again! peace&love

[@connielynn5388]

Congratulations Billy, placing a bell in the tower again is like giving the chapel its beating heart❤️ ! Bravo well done!!

[@kelalea6421]

You all are, simply put, amazing! Congratulations on this major and meaningful accomplishment!

[@lellymills]

So thrilled the bell is in situ and to hear it ring, and on the Winter Solstice too. I shed a tear. Just magical! It will be fabulous hearing it ring properly on Christmas morning. Very well done to the whole team. Team work makes the dream work! Yuletide Blessings to all! X

[@ephillips8165]

[@beverlyolson1373]

What a great team you have! I admit I was holding my breath when the bell was going up to be placed in the tower and a big sigh of relief when it was secure. Phew! Congrats on your accomplishment!

[@jodi4384]

Sean’s appreciation of the bell tower craftsmanship….no words. One fine craftsman admiring the work of another fine craftsman. (Ok a few words :) )

[@marymcandrew7667]

This episode has made me smile sooo much! It's been great to watch how you figured out this project and worked hard on it (all who did). Then to see it get rolled out, put up and in place, how satisfying and then when you rang it, what a beautiful sound this bell has!! I smiled so much. Thank you for including us all in your daily work, I really enjoy seeing all you do. I always make sure I have time to relax, pay attention and watch your channel on my computer with the good sound and screen. Merry Christmas all of you!

[@globalunity4249]

Keep producing these videos. The simple everyday fix-it jobs for the average joe out there is great. So many of us can relate. Awesome work.

[@KrumTats]

Blessing to you, the Petherick family and crew this holiday season. You do amazing things!

[@jenateer2518]

So proud of you Billy and team for bringing the chapel back to life.

[@flusterfly]

I love that we get to see the beauty & craftmanship of this bell & support beams that will hide up in this tower for hopefully generations before it is seen in such detail again. What a treasure!
