Friends of Little Bromley Church

Welcome to the Bells Restoration 2024

 

The Friends of Little Bromley Church are raising money and preparing the project for The Churches Conservation Trust. The bell founder has assessed the condition of the medieval bell frame and the structural stability of the tower. The tower condition seems good but one part of the bell frame will need structural repair. The cost will be in excess of £40,000 and so far the Friends have raised just over 50%. 

Little Bromley in Old Photographs

This new book is of village photographs from about 1890, collated by local historian, Dr Hugh Frostick.  He is generously donating all proceeds to the bell appeal.  To buy a copy of the book, please email us at friends [at] littlebromley.org.uk (subject: Little%20Bromley%20in%20Old%20Photographs%20by%20Hugh%20Frostick) (Friends of Little Bromley Church) or ring Gavin or Carol as below.


 

Friends of Little Bromley Church (FOLBC) are raising money to restore the bells.  

The two oldest bells were made in c1410 and the oak bell frame is also fifteenth century.  These are listed as of historic interest.

The two smaller bells are from 1899, by Henry Boswell of Ipswich. 

It is 125 years since any work has been done on the bells and restoration must be done so that we can ring the bells again.  

For more details, see the linked leaflet by clicking on this photograph of the Little Bromley Bells.

  2. promote the church for suitable events (such as open days, flower festivals, talks, concerts, religious services)
  3. organise church cleaning and preparation for these events
  4. assist the Churches Conservation Trust practically and financially with supervision of the church and improvements to the building
  5. coordinate management of the churchyard on conservation lines, in co-operation with the PCC of the Bromleys and Lt Bromley Parish Council and to assist both bodies financially with the care of the churchyard
