Keep St John’s bells ringing out for the next 200 years and beyond!

The Story of Sharow Bells Restoration

In 2019 St John’s Sharow bells were cleaned. In 2024 a Bicentennial Peal was successfully rung, but to ensure the bells ring out for the next 200 years and beyond, vital work now needs to be undertaking.

There is a transformation planned. Recasting and rehanging the bells lower in the tower. Moving and improving the ringing chamber. The result will be an enriched sound qualityof the bells across the village and a more enjoyable ringing experience within the tower.

To raise funds for the work Sharow Ringers and the local community are holding events, making grant applications and helping with the installation to reduce costs. Mandy is buying a bell in memory of her husband Stephen. Bridget is Wild Swimming every month without a wet suit.

​Thanks to everyone who helped raise funds when the bells were cleaned.
Now we need to ensure the bells will ring out into the future.
