Colebrooke Bell Restoration

St. Andrews Church Colebrooke is Grade I listed and has one of the heaviest peals of 6 bells in Devon. The bells date back as far as 1627 and are still rung every Sunday as well as for weddings and special occasions. The bells have become increasingly difficult to ring. A professional survey conducted in 2016 recommended complete restoration and re-hanging of the bells which requires the bells to be removed and transported to a foundry.

This project will repair and refurbish the existing peal of 6 bells. The undertaking will involve scaffolding the tower, removing the bells and replacing the existing headstocks. All bell fittings and bearings will be replaced and the bell frame repaired before the bells are rehung.
