Re-
With the preliminary site work completed,
the bells were returned and installed during the last week of April.
The cracks have been repaired and a cast resin collar secures
the original mounting lugs to the new suspension mechanism,
which includes modern bearings, instead of the original simple bar bearings.
The inscriptions on the bells are:

Preparing the Framework for the Bells -
The original oak frame that supports the bells has to be retained as it is of historic interest,
but needs to be reinforced to provide a stable platform.
It was therefore raised and a substantial galvanised steel sub-
to fix it securely to the stone floor of the bell chamber.
With the Treble and Second bells safely in the tower,
the Tenor was stored overnight in the church.
