Church bells receive special welcome by Acting Bishop of Ely

The bells at the Parish Church of All Saints in Landbeach have arrived.

A special service has been organised to mark the arrival of two new bells at the Parish Church of All Saints in Landbeach.

They recognise the Landbeach Community and King Charles' coronation and received a religious dedication by the Acting Bishop of Ely, Dr Reverend Dagmar Winter.

A donation of £70,000 by the Cambridge Historic Churches Trust has allowed the church to purchase the additional bells.

'Community' and 'Coronation' as they've been named, have joined All Saints' church's first bell, 'the Tenor' which is now five hundred years old.

Star Radio understands the Tenor may have travelled by canal from Aldgate in London during Tudor times to take up its position in this Fen-Edge Norman church.
