Temple Guiting: there is some exciting news from here, as an augmentation to 6 is about to occur. A second-hand bell of the right weight, note and matching founder (Taylor) has been found via the Keltek Trust and is being donated to the church. The donation covers just the bell, so there are costs of the fittings and the installation to meet. Installation of the bell could possibly be before the end of this year.
Please let me have any information about what's happening in towers in the area. Ed
