- The restoration of the 8 bells in the church of St Mary The Virgin, Bampton in Oxfordshire was begun in 2006 and completed early in 2007. The front six were removed, the front three went to the Whitechapel foundry in London to be tuned and then joined the other 3 at Whites of Appleton, near Oxford, to have new headstocks and sealed bearings. The very heavy back two remained in the belfry but were lifted out of their gudgeons and bearings to have new sealed bearings and headstocks fitted in situ. New wheels and stays were made and fitted. New ropes were fitted and finally we had a joyous service of dedication for the restored bells led by Rev. David Lloyd.
