10 Year Anniversary of Horley Bells

It’s 10 years this month since the bells in St Etheldreda’s Church were rung for the first time after a 25 year period of silence.  Prior to February 2014, it hadn’t been possible to ring the bells as they had been declared unsafe for ringing due to water damage to the ancient wooden frame.

After a fantastic fundraising effort in 2012 – 2013 led by Mike Patching, the bell frame was restored and two new bells were cast and installed to supplement the original four bells.

We will be ringing the bells to celebrate this 10 year anniversary next Saturday 17th February between 2pm and 4pm. 

Listen out – or better still, come and along and see the bells being rung. We have put a camera in the bell chamber so you will be able to see the bells in action as well as the ringers !
