Story
Thank you for visiting #vernetbells. Please note that fundraising is now complete. Many thanks to all who have contributed.
A ring of ten new bells for St George's Church, with a tenor weighing 261kg (5-0-15 in C) , was cast by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough and installed in April 2019. The bells were first rung for service on Palm Sunday. We are most of the way to our funding target, but fundraising continues. Please help if you can! We have begun teaching some local ringers, both French and British, and we look forward to welcoming many ringing visitors from the UK and beyond in the years to come. The bells were dedicated on 29th September 2019 by the Assistant Bishop of Europe, and the first peal was rung that day. The bells are available to visiting bands for peals, quarters and general ringing.
