On Saturday 8th<\/sup> February 2020, a group of 12 bell ringers from Hornchurch and South Ockendon visited Bradwell-On-Sea for a ring on their newly restored set of 8 bells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There had previously been 8 bells at Bradwell since 1744 but 3 bells went \u2018missing\u2019 more than 100 years ago leaving only 5 bells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new sixth bell was cast at the end of WW2 (to celebrate victory) but the space in the tower for the 2 other bells remained until 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An extensive campaign to raise \u00a356,000 provided the necessary funds to purchase 2 new trebles as well as refurbishing the rest of the bells, frame and fittings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new bells rang very well and were easy for us to handle. We enjoyed ringing some Call Changes on 8 and Plain Bob Doubles before resting in the pub opposite for a well-earned lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our thanks go to Rosemarie and the Bradwell ringers for making us so welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
