Preparation work

The last time there was any work on the bells was in 1911 when the bells were restored and augmented to 6. To lift and position the bells, a large beam was positioned between the tower walls, and removing it has been on the list of jobs to do for a while.


 We supported it securely from underneath with a steel frame and cut it into small sections and carried them down the stairs.


It was a good job done - especially since it was more rotten than we originally thought.


Welcome to the Strensham bells blog

Welcome to the new Strensham bell tower blog!






There are currently 6 bells in the tower, but we are about to install two more bells...



...these two, originally from Kettering, and supplied through the Keltek Trust.

Since Strensham Church is redundant, permission had to be obtained from the Churches Conservation Trust. We also obtained Grade I listed Building Consent from Wychavon District Council.
