A new trapdoor


We have a nice new trap door!

These brand new 7" x 3" planks replace identical (but rotten) ones put up in 1911 when the flooring in the SE corner of the tower was modified to allow the bells through. The trap door is needed again to get the three bells through so that they can be tuned.

We have also continued with the big clear up, and had two vacuum cleaners going tonight.

There is still lots more tidying up to do which will keep us busy until the retuned Rudhall bells and refurbished headstocks come back. They are being collected on Friday.
