| In 1953 Taylors of Loughborough supplied a new metal frame and fittings, recast the 1 & 2 of the existing 6 and added two trebles. The 3rd of the original 6, was later found to be cracked and was also recast. The former wooden frame dating to 1729 was one of the earliest known to have been made by James Harrison I who was commissioned in 1733 to construct a new frame and rehang the 12 at York Minster. This too was later replaced. The 7th is the only bell supplied by Lester of Whitechapel to Lincolnshire. In December 2006 the eight bells were rehung in a frame for 12 by Taylors Eayre & Smith and at the same time the ringing chamber was completely renovated. In August 2007 two trebles were added, making a ring of ten and at the beginning of March 2008 the final two bells were added to complete the ring of 12. |
