Cradley Heath, West Midlands,
Grainger's Lane Methodist Church


The last service at the church was held on 18th July 2004. The Trust acquired the modern Taylor chime of eight bells and four bells have been installed at Rufforth, North Yorkshire. The remaining bells are on offer to another church.

Birmingham, West Midlands, St Paul, Hockley
(The Jewellers Church)


The parish was considering installing a ring of ten bells based on the chime removed from Grainger's Lane Methodist Church, Cradley Heath. The St Martin's Guild for the Diocese of Birmingham are  making this the main project to commemorate the Guild's 250th anniversary in 2005. As the fund raising went so well the church had sufficient promises to cast an entirely new ring of bells.
The Trust is pleased that the offer of the ex-Cradley Heath bells has helped to launch the scheme.

Moseley, West Midlands, St Mary


The PCC is considering replacing the existing ring of steel bells with a bronze ring incorporating two tenor bells from the redundant St George's North church, Greenock. This will form the basis of a ring of ten bells with a tenor weight of 18-1-7.

Moseley, West Midlands, St Anne


The Trust located a second-hand bell to augment the chime of five to six bells and they have now been re-hung for full-circle ringing.
