The Keltek Trust: Essex Projects

St Peter ad Vincula, Coggeshall


The augmentation scheme at Coggeshall is unusual as most schemes involve adding treble bells to the existing ring. This project involves the addition of a treble and a tenor bell and necessitates  the replacement of two of the original ring of eight bells with bells of a different note.

We were asked if we could find alternative homes for the two surplus bells. We are pleased to report that new homes have been found for both.


The old 6th bell, cast by Tho. Gardener in 1757 has become a clock hour bell at St Mary's, Coity, Mid Glamorgan.

The surplus 2nd bell has become the new treble at St Mary's,  Donyatt, Somerset as part of their restoration and augmentation scheme.

St Peter's have also acquired surplus bells as part of their augmentation project. The new tenor is a fine Simpson tuned Taylor bell from St Barnabas, Penny Lane, Liverpool. The bell is being removed to make way for the installation of a ring of eight bells.

Inworth, Essex, All Saints


The smallest of the three bells acquired from Llandybie quarry, West Glamorgan has been installed at Inworth to augment the light ring of five bells to six. The Trust donated the bell and the project was completed during 2003.
