  • I'm surprised they've just been re-done. I thought St James church Stirchley was redundant

  • The Church is redundant and is now in the hands of The Churches Conservation Trust. The CCT came to an agreement with the previous owner (the local council I was told) that they would fund repairs to the building. The bells (which were in a dangerous state) formed part of this deal.

  • @Cindermakers These are bells that indeed are not hormonically tuned beauties, but are undoubtedly a rich part of the history of bellfounding in this country... a good traditional sound.

  • How lovely to hear another glorious '1410'....

  • they are the front 3 of a 4.... not the front 3 of a 5

  • sounds like the front three of a five, although the second is quite sharp :) Don't sound too bad though

  • That's called bad bells

  • interesting how all three sound different to each other

  • Very interesting!

    I saw in the Dove's Guide that these bells are very old!

    D: Henry Oldfield II 1594

    E: Thomas Clibury 1664

    F: John de Colsale 1410

  • I don't live far from Telford so wouldn't mind going and having a ring at Stirchley. Are they run regularly or just by arrangement?
