With the generous support of CHCT, the Truro Diocesan Guild of Ringers, the Garfield Weston Foundation, Benefact Trust, the Sharpe Trust, Ladock PCC and many individual donors from the Ladock and wider community (including Canada), it was possible to commence the project to recast and restore Ladock’s bells during June. With help of a team of volunteer ringers, the contractor, Taylor’s of Loughborough brought them down from the tower, putting them on display in the Church, the first time that they had been on general view since 1925 and in some cases, 1883. After a guest appearance of the 3^rd at the village fete, the bells were removed from the church for the final time; the seven smallest bells were loaded onto a trailer and toured the Upper Fal Parishes area, escorted by a convoy of eighteen vintage tractors, before being transported to Loughborough: a fitting destination as all eight were originally cast by John Taylor. It is hoped that the bells will be back in the tower in time to ring for Christmas Day.
