St. Wulfram's, Grantham - The Jubilee Bell

On Sunday 17th March 2013, the newly installed 'Jubilee Bell' was rung from the belfry at St. Wulfram's Church, Grantham, for the first time. This short film captures the moment inside the bell-ringing chamber with the bell ringers of St. Wulfram's and also from the belfry itself. The bell was funded in part by the Rotary Club of Grantham and club President, Irvin Metcalf, joined the bell ringing team for the second peal. A film covering the story of the bell from foundry to first peal is currently in post-production and will be released soon. The film will feature footage and photographs covering all aspects of the installation including the precarious hoist to the belfry from the floor of St. Wulfram's Church. Visit the church to see the beautiful font installed to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria and, if you choose your time carefully you may just hear the sound of the bells including the 'Jubilee Bell' installed to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
