Rehanging the bells Phase 3 – Rope Guides


Graham Clifton and carpenter James Sellick from Whites of Appleton Ltd. Church Bellhangers were joined over a 2-day period by volunteers to work on the Rope Guides, pulleys and Ellacombe Chime, as well as fitting the remaining clappers. Other volunteers helped with refreshments and lunches and cleaning and tidying the church.



The two adjusted clappers return along with the hammers for the Ellacombe Chime. The muffles, needed for Remembrance Sunday, are handed over.
