The bells have arrived back at Holy Trinity, Great Paxton Church from Taylors in Loughborough.  In a week long process with lots of help from volunteers, the bells were moved from the floor of the church and winched into the tower.  With the now six bells installed safely in the tower, they were rung for the first time this week as a trial run.  There is no access into the belfry however, the new CCTV system will soon be installed in the church and then everyone will be able to see what happens in the tower as the bells are being rung.

We are almost at the end of this wonderful project, with thanks to village residents, donors and Heritage Lottery Fund.

Do take a look at the gallery for more fantastic photos of the process.

Come and join us at St James' Church Little Paxton for our annual Pop-Up Tea Room on Saturday 9th June 12-4pm.  There will be BBQ, Beer & Pimms, stories for the children and face painting; tea and cake, plus a chocolate fountain and bubbles....lots of bubbles.

Work is still continuing in the tower at Great Paxton Church to get ready for the return of the bells.  The wooden frames have been treated with preservative and work prevention treatment.  Just the metalwork to be treated before the end of the week.  Next week (w/c 11th June) the metal frame for the new bell is to be fitted.  We are looking forward to welcoming the five original bells and one new bell back to the church at the end of this month.
