The Trust located a bell which was installed during 2002 to augment the 15 cwt ring of four bells to a ring of five. The "new" bell is the heaviest of three acquired from Llandybie quarry, West Glamorgan.

Kettering, Northamptonshire, SS. Peter & Paul


The pre-2004 ring of bells has been replaced by a new ring of twelve. The Trust has been involved with finding alternatives homes for as many bells as possible.

5th: To become the 2nd of the proposed augmentation from 3 to six at Kirkby Overblow, Yorkshire.
6th: Sold for installation as a chiming bell at a church in Ireland (actual destination not known).
7th: Installed at Collingbourne Kingston, Wiltshire to replace a cracked bell.
8th: Installed at Coleorton to replace the poor sounding 7th bell.

Stanion, Northamptonshire, St Peter


The parish is to re-instate the "lost" ring of four bells and augment to six by adding two newly cast bells. One of these is being cast in memory of Sir John Smith, founder of the Manifold Trust & Landmark trust who died on 28th February 2007. We are contributing to the cost of casting the bell.
