The sound of a bell calling the community to worship is one of the evocative sounds of the English countryside. How different and quiet the area round Mepal St Mary must have been during the forced silence of the bell. But after this project the bell rings out again – Halleluiah! In addition, the community spirit roused with the success of this project seems to be the spur for further proposed alterations to the building. Well done Mepal.
