In the quiet countryside of Herefordshire there is a small community of hamlets where there live a mere two hundred souls in about a hundred dwellings, and a caravan. Standing in the midst of this community is a much cherished church, St. Nicholas, where not only the building but also the tower required a huge amount of work. Undaunted by the enormity of the task the people joined together raising considerable sums of money and brought the fabric of the church and its tower back to life. But what was the point of a tower which couldn’t ring so then they had to start all over again to find another huge fund for a new bell frame, a new Jubilee bell and the return and rehanging of the existing five bells. What an astonishing achievement and it now stands fully restored in this special village of Norton Canon and is ready to ring out for St. George.
The Community Spirit is alive and well.
