The Trust has been closely involved with several projects to install bells into churches in Australia. One of the latest projects is at Menangle, NSW where a ring of six bells was installed during December 2004.
The Trust donated the tenor bell (which came from Rode Hill in Somerset). We also located bells the treble, 2nd, 4th and 5th.
The bells were rung for the first time on Christmas Day 2004.

The Trust donated a bell which came from the redundant church of  St Paul's, Bristol to the project. It was cast by John Rudhall in 1793 and is the tenor of the ring of eight. Seven new bells have been cast and installed to complete the octave.

St James is the oldest standing church building in Sydney. The architect, Francis Greenway, designed the tower to hold bells but only a single bell hung for chiming was ever installed. The Trust has also been involved in locating a surplus bell-frame in which the bells are hung.
