To mark the new guidelines on Covid-19 restrictions.
We were in the tower to inspect and remedy a problem with an ill fitted ladder in the 7th pit, recently installed for assisting maintenance of mobile phone equipment higher up the tower.
As you will see in the photos the new ladder is far too close to the wheel and the bottom of the clapper flight catches the ladder.
The remedy, for the time being: the ladder has been removed so the bells can be rung for Easter Sunday.
Our report and recommendations have been submitted to the clergy and churchwardens and further action to be carried out.
