Community ST GILES CHURCH BELL’S PROJECT The Church was awarded a National Heritage Loer Grant at the end of the summer that will enable the bells to be repaired and rng once more. To achieve this goal, however, there’s always another ‘list’ of things that sit alongside such a venture. Over the next 18 months we plan to do other activities that will introduce the church, its grounds and heritage to a wider audience. This project main aim is to restore the peel of bells contained within the bell tower of a Grade 2* listed building. This means the church is in the top 3% of the nation’s top building of historical interest. The condition have been assessed by conservators and an assessment of the bells, structures etc has been fully documented. The aims of the project - restore the bells (not listed individually) - instigate new a new team of bell ringers - research the bells history - research the Treble Bob peel - support activities that reflect the heritage of St Giles in the community for past 1,000 years - support community learning about our grade 2* heritage building - hold activities to develop learning and research of the church itself - learn how bells are cast and strung with manufacturers and learn about a rare heritage skill that just about exists. - Promote heritage skills where possible - design an exhibition that can tell the story of the Treble Bob and book about St Giles Within the project we will be seeking to support, train and restart the Band and a Tower Captain role. If sufficient interest is shown amongst existing bell ringers and potential trainees then the bells at St Giles may be rung once again on a regular basis. But what is the Treble Bob – for the general layman like myself I’d like to know more about how the story of the Treble Bob came about, its meaning and connection with the church. It’s certainly a cultural identity that’s been around for a while. A plaque in the tower 1801 records a Treble Bob event. Within planned activities with St Giles school will be a resident artist helping to interpret the church and grounds for the children and Forest School practitioners to help them. For the wider community wildlife activities to show the importance of such places as a green oasis – natural history is just as important to get over to people since often these places have changed little in hundreds of years and support rarer flora and fauna. From this we hope to create a wildlife trail concentrating on the grounds and building itself. We plan to create a few podcasts for social media so other communities can learn about the site plus create a 21 st century photographic record of everything in the church, outside and the grounds. Hopefully a local photographic group and students from the local secondary school in Eckington will be involved; supporting them on their GCSE and A level projects. At the end of the project we aim to have a small exhibition about the restoration with supporting printed materials such children’s activity sheets. We shall keep updating local social media, church website etc so everyone can see progress.
