Recently Completed BRF Projects 2021
St Mary Rawtenstall
These bells had become almost unringable. Volunteers from the LACR/Taylors made some general repairs and took the Baldrick style clappers out and transported them to Taylor's bellfoundry. The refurbished clappers were then re-installed, and the bells are now ringable again for short periods. The cost of refurbishing the clappers was covered by the LACR BRF in recognition of the recent, generous bequest from Kenneth Hartley of Helmshore.
St Mary, Ulverston
This was a major rehang of the bells by Nicholson’s, involving serious stabilisation of the frame, all the while, working around the bells as it wasn’t possible to remove them from the belfry. A tremendous amount of the work on this project was done by Hugh Pettifer. A grant of £6,100 was awarded from the BRF..
St Mary, Oldham
A small grant was made towards the rehanging of the eighth bell.
