Sharow Bells Restoration : Appeal for a Peal  Help get our bells ringing!  Appeal for a Peal campaign page.

  • Do you love listening to the bells at St John’s?
  • Have you rung St John’s bells?
  • Have you used the bells to celebrate a wedding or the life of a loved one? 

Sadly, the bells are silent. Toxic with pigeon guano. The bells need to be professionally cleaned and repaired.

In 2020 Sharow PCC launch the Appeal for a Peal. In 2024 it will be 200 years since the bells were cast, we are hoping to get the bells ringing so we can celebrate with a peal.

 

  • Help raise £10,000 to restore the bells

 

Make a donation and help get the bells ringing! 

At St John’s, please mark your donation Appeal for a Peal and place in the safe, inside the church door.
