Story

Sharow Bell Restoration

Thanks to a grant from the National Churches Trust and community support, in 2023 St John’s Sharow bells were cleaned.

Many thanks to everyone who helped raise funds.

In 2024 a Bicentennial Peal was successfully rung, but to ensure the bells ring out for the next 200 years and beyond, vital work now needs to be undertaken.

There is a transformation planned. Recasting and rehanging the bells lower in the tower. Moving and improving the ringing chamber. The result…an enriched sound quality of the bells across the village and a more enjoyable ringing experience within the tower.

To raise funds for the work Sharow Ringers and the local community are holding events, making grant applications and helping with the installation to reduce costs. Mandy is buying a bell in memory of her husband Stephen. Bridget is Wild Swimming every month of the year, without a wetsuit!

Now we need to ensure the bells will ring out into the future.

Help towards the funding of a bell, buy a bell rope or contribute to moving the ceremonial window.

Thank you for making a donation.
