How can you help
The total bell project will cost about £145,000 and has the full support of the PCC and the local Bell-ringing organisations. A faculty has been granted for the work by the Lichfield Diocesan Advisory Committee. We will be applying for grants but there is still a need for external fund raising.
Please, would you help by making a donation to keep Stone bells ringing for the next 300 years. As well as the above cost there will also be building work, transport and installation costs but while we are seeking personal donations we are also looking for people or organisations who would like to sponsor a specific item from the list above. The sponsorship of one of the bells with a suitable inscription cast into the bell would be a lasting memorial for a loved one.
