  • The CCCBR Stewardship & Management Workgroup have released Belfry Upkeep, an online document created with the help our Tony Crabtree aimed at the Steeple Keeper – the person responsible for keeping the bells in order. The aims of the document are:
    • To help you understand the installation in your tower
    • To describe the checks you should carry out to identify any problems
    • To advise you on the maintenance tasks that you should be able to carry out, possibly with expert advice or assistance
    • Most importantly, to help you recognise the tasks that require specialist knowledge from a Bell Hanger or other expert

    The document can be found at https://belfryupkeep.cccbr.org.uk

  • Video clip taken on a recent T&B Maintenance Course – Note that the people in the belfry were at a safe distance and in no danger from the swinging bell. All the other bells were down.
