Installing temporary digital bells
Thank you to the 5 people who took up my invitation to donate to the digital bells appeal. Getting off to a start like that has been really encouraging. We are very keen to make this vision a reality, and appeal for your help. Also if you are a tax payer, gift aiding your donation would also add 25% more to the fund. Again a massive thank you to everyone in our wonderful community.
In case you missed my last message about the appeal….Here it is again:-
The bells at Scampton church have not rung for many, many years. A large investment will be necessary to have the original bells restored. HOWEVER…
During the VE weekend this year Scampton church installed temporary digital bells which rang at 3pm and 7pm on VE75 Day and again at 3pm on the Sunday of the Bank Holiday weekend. The feedback from the village has been really positive with many saying that it would be amazing to have a digital system installed until the original bells can eventually be restored in years to come. The new digital system would enable church bells to be heard again in our village: on Sundays, at weddings and other special occasions.
The cost of installing the digital system is £1927. We are willing to invest in the system, but cannot do this without your help. Would you be willing to help fund this project by donating towards its cost?
If so please send your donation to: Rev Sue Deacon, Parsonage Lodge, High St, Scampton LN1 2SE
