Mathon Church, An Historical Tour

The Bells

Mathon has a ring of six bells, cast by Abraham Rudhall of Gloucester in 1760, and the Sanctus bell by John Martin in 1675. In 1950 the oak frame had to be replaced by an iron and steel one.

The work, carried out by John Taylor & Sons of Loughborough, cost £700, which was raised by public subscription and local fund-raising efforts. One bell was re-cast at this time, and bears the names of the vicar, Rev. P. B. Thorburn, and the churchwardens, M. F. Higgins and H. Fitzer. This was the E flat bell, number 2.
