Bell Restoration Committee

The Association has an active and experienced Bell Restoration Committee (BRC) headed by the Bell Restoration Officer (BRO). The BRC administers the Bell Restoration Fund (BRF), which meets twice a year (usually March and October) to review applications for grants. This includes bells not hung for full circle ringing.

The BRC undertakes inspections and offers advice and practical assistance on bell matters throughout the Diocese of London. In addition the BRC can provide experienced volunteer labour which can save many thousands of pounds on major projects.

Courses on bell maintenance are available either as part of the Training Programme or tailored to meet individual tower needs (e.g. a newly appointed Steeple Keeper).
