The Stewardship & Management Workgroup are pleased to announce Belfry Upkeep, an online document aimed at the Steeple Keeper – the person responsible for keeping the bells in order. The aims of the document are:

• To help you understand the installation in your tower
• To describe the checks you should carry out to identify any problems
• To advise you on the maintenance tasks that you should be able to carry out, possibly with expert advice or assistance
• Most importantly, to help you recognise the tasks that require specialist knowledge from a Bell Hanger or other expert

The document can be found at https://belfryupkeep.cccbr.org.uk
