The past year has seen Litcham’s bells rung only infrequently, due to their generally poor condition and a lack of ringers within the village. However, with the help of people from other villages we aim to ring the bells at least once a month, as well as for any special occasions such as weddings.

Three surveys of the bells have been carried out with a view to comprehensive repairs and tuning work being undertaken. One positive outcome of the surveys is that they report the bells are at present safe to ring. However, the total cost of repairs will probably be in excess of £30,000, so there is a lot of fundraising to be done. This will be worthwhile in the long run, as the end result should be a properly tuned set of bells that will not need any further major work for perhaps a hundred years.

Litcham’s bells and tower are of historical interest and Tim Angell would be happy to show them to anyone who is interested. All you need is a head for heights, depending on how far up the tower you want to go.
