Re-Visiting the Belfry at Leighterton, Glos

Visited the restored bells of Leighterton, on Thursday 9th November 2023.
Note; Apologies, the hour bell was cast by John Taylor & Co, not John Warner & Sons.
The derelict service bell was removed, cleaned and is now hung dead for chiming with a trigger-action clapper. Work was carried out by John Taylor & Co in Nov 2023.
The tubular bells have had their fittings and hammers all restored by a local engineer in late 2023. Along with new wires & ropes for the apparatus.
Leighterton, 2 Bells. Tenor: 5-0-0, in C. dove.cccbr.org.uk/tower/21560

Thank you for making this short film James! Also a huge thank you for showcasing the newly restored bells at our concert on 9/11/23. Everyone was very pleased to hear them being played so expertly.

Thank you. I very much enjoyed playing the bells too. They’re great fun, and I can’t wait to play them again.

Sound better than some tower bells!

Incredibly sad to see the Service bell being hung dead.

[@JamesJoynson]

It is. But the bell frame is no longer in shape to withstand the forces of it rung full circle anymore. Too much woodworm.
