It is just a week since the Minster bells fell silent, and the structure of our regular meetings each Sunday and Tuesday dismantled.
However last week, after having been an item of the WMSCBR AGM for many a year, the defunct carillon (which had sat in the ‘middle floor’ between the ringing chamber and the bells) was finally removed.
Cumbria Clocks have now reassembled the pieces of the carillon in their workshop, and you can see the results attached. The middle chamber is now, more or less, empty and clean, and the ringing chamber has been put back together.
Alan has kindly written a history of the chimes, which you can read here.
