Belfry Projects
The Central Council has compiled an excellent document Belfry Projects | Belfry Projects which offers advice to anyone who is considering a project to install bells or undertake restoration work on a bell installation in a bell tower. A typical project leader is most likely to be a tower bell ringer, someone responsible for the tower or someone with other interests in bells and bell ringing.
These pages provide:
- help in defining the scope of such a project
- suggestions about how to encourage local and wider interest in the project
- ideas for how to plan the project
- advice about the organisations to be consulted
- an outline of some of the legal requirements
- suggestions for raising the money required
Every project will be different so there is no one way to approach a bell project. In practice, it is by considering local needs and interests that a project will stand out and be successful.
Some readers may have already had experience in running a bell project. To help those who have not, any constructive comments and examples of completed projects will be most welcome - Contact: smSec@cccbr.org.uk.
