The pre-2002 ring had a weak, under-sized and under-weight tenor. This bell was replaced by a modern Taylor bell acquired from a redundant church in Patna, Scotland. The fifth bell was replaced at the same time with a newly cast bell.
Tilton-on-the-Hill, Leicestershire, St Peter
The ring of four bells has been augmented to five with the addition of the old fifth bell from Whetstone. The Trust was contacted during 2003 regarding a possible augmentation and we suggested that the ex-Whetstone bell might be suitable. The work was completed during March 2004.
Thorpe Arnold, Leicestershire, St Mary the Virgin
The ring of three bells was augmented to five during 2003 with the addition of two surplus bells. The Trust located one of these, the second of the ring of five, from a scrap metal dealer in Burton-on-Trent. It appears the bell was cast as a clock bell and installed at a private house in Staffordshire before being removed and sold for scrap.
Coleorton, Leicestershire, St Mary the Virgin
The parish acquired a modern Taylor bell from the pre-2004 ring at Kettering, Northamptonshire to replace the existing seventh bell.
Scraptoft, Leicestershire
It is proposed to remodel and augment the ring of three to five by retiring the tenor and adding three trebles. An ex-Trinity House buoy bell has been purchased from the Trust as the treble of five.
