Completion of the Restoration of Upper Sheringham Church Bells
After over 2 years of hard work and fundraising, we are delighted to report that the work is now complete in the tower of All Saint’s Church, Upper Sheringham, and the bells and clock once more sound out over our beautiful village.
It all started back in February 2018 when the PCC agreed to a full rehang of the derelict 6 bells at All Saints Church in Upper Sheringham on the North Norfolk coast. The bells were to be retuned using modern tuning techniques, the canons removed, and then the bells rehung in a new frame with all new fixtures and fittings. In addition, it was agreed to install an electronically operated chiming mechanism.
There were originally 3 mediaeval bells hung in a large frame high in the tower (this historic empty frame remains in situ). When the new 6 bells were cast in 1841 they made some rather rudimentary adjustments to this frame to fit the 6 bells in. Continued on page 4...
