The historic ring of five bells hung in St Edmund's Church in Costessey were saved from unringability in 2019, when they were rehung and restored by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough. The crown staples were removed, and the frame and installation being restored and conserved, before all being rehung with nee wheels and canon retaining headstocks in their original frame, which had been adapted to take the new ball bearings.
Four of the bells were cast by John II Brand in 1656/7, with the 3rd being the oldest having been cast in c1525 by John Aleyn, it being the first of only 6 bells he ever cast, all of which hang in Norfolk.
The ringing room doubles up as a vestry and the 3rd rope falls almost on top of the desk, so sideways ringing is a must. They are a lovely peal of five and well worth a visit if you are nearby.
