The Church bells
|
The Foundation Stone for the Bell Tower of Holy Trinity was laid by Bishop Long in 1919 in memory of soldiers who fought in the Great War, 1914 to 1918, and dedicated in 1924. Financial troubles dogged its construction, with no money remaining for bells. Over the years, records, tapes or CDs of bells were played from the Tower for weddings and special occasions!
In 2003, the Australian and New Zealand Association of Bell Ringers (ANZAB) approached the Parish with a proposal to install a peal of bells. Five secondhand bells were located in England and a sixth given by the Orange Ex Services Club to complete the War Memorial. Subsequently, two more bells were given. They were dedicated on November 25, 2007. The heaviest bell is thought to be the oldest ringing bell in Eastern Australia.
