BELLS are set to return to a community church with a ceremony to be held this weekend.

Bishop Hugh will be in attendance for the blessing and re-dedication of the bells at North Tamerton Church, and an outdoor ceremony will take place prior to them being re-hung over the next two to three weeks.

A spokesperson for North Tamerton Church said: “The “blessing and re-dedication of the bells” is to be on Sunday, October 27 at 3.15pm when Bishop Hugh will be in attendance.

“The bells will be outside the church as there is no way of getting them inside but at least everyone will be able to see them before they are re-hung. The repair work to the belfry floor will commence on Monday, October 28 and the bells will be re-hung during the following two to three weeks.

“After the service there will be a cream tea in the village hall. We do hope you can come.”
