THE church bells of St James' will be ringing out once again after essential repair work. The bell tower has been silent for much of March while the bell clappers were carefully removed and taken to bell founder Taylor's of Loughborough. Volunteers helped the specialist engineer re-fit the clappers and took on the three-day task of giving the bells a thorough clean. The bell installation at the Sandstone tower was built in 1963 and has not needed any major repairs. The £4,000 programme was funded by the Teignmouth Bells Project. A fundraising concert is being held at St Michael's Church, Teignmouth, on Saturday, May 6, at 7.30pm. Parnham Voices, a 19-strong cappella chamber choir, will perform a repertoire that covers six centuries. Tickets are available from The Local, Wellington Street, or on the door.
