Keeping in good order

On Friday 15th April work was carried out on the bells to correct the odd struckness of the treble and third bells. Peter Trent, the Diocesan Bells Advisor, took a look at the bells of All Saints and along with Aaron and suggested work which might need doing as well as help Aaron sort out a few problems there had been with the bells.  It is hoped that  over the coming months the work will be carried out to get the bells in the best condition they can be.

Welcoming bells...

Pupils from Swanton Morley Primary School we welcomed to their All Saints Church for their special Easter service by the bells of All Saints. The band, made up of Shelia Smith, Brian Laing, Tom Davis and Aaron Hall, rang Plain Bob Minimus as the children walked in the gorgeous spring sunshine from the village school to the church. Many of the children were excited to hear the bells knowing they were being rung for them
