All Saints’ Church
The bells of All Saints’ Church
During the construction of the church, an order of six bells was placed with John Taylor of Loughborough. A six-bell oak bell frame was constructed for the church. At installation in 1864 this was extended to accommodate two extra bells and a ring of eight was installed. Cast in the Key of E, the heaviest of these weighed 17cwt. (about ¾ tonne).
In 1999 the bells were tuned and rehung in a new steel bell frame for ten bells. At the same time the redundant All Saints’ Church School bell was hung as a Sanctus bell. The Nottingham University Society of Change Ringers ring the bells for the church.
