Save St Swithun's!
St Swithun's is an 18th century Grade I listed church in the heart of Worcester. The tiled roof along the nave is failing and rainwater is threatening the elegant Georgian interiors.
The CCT has launched an appeal to raise funds to repair the roof and upgrade the facilities at the church in a bid to restore St Swithun's to the cultural centre of Worcester.

New Bells for Old St Martin's in the Cornmarket Worcester
After a silence of over 100 years the joyful sound of bells ring out once more from one of Worcester's ancient parish churches. This exciting scheme to install a new ring of bells is linked with a teaching ministry for city schools.
£150,000 was raised to restore the old bells at Old St Martin's and install a new ring of bells. This video, produced by JDA Media, documents the entire project from start to finish.

St Swithun, Worcester - One of the oldest rings of six bells
less than two minutes walk from Old St Martins (Old St Martins bells can be heard in the distance at 1:11 ) is St Swithuns, which is now a redundant church which still retains a set of six bells. They are not easy to get good ringing on, partly because of some rather bad oddstruckness (including the tenor). However in capable hands they can be rung to a high standard.
Individually a few of the bells leave something to be desired, but as a whole they are a superb old sound. They were obviously a minor ring of three cast some time around 1420, which were augmented by John Martin, another Worcester founder in 1654 by adding a tenor and two trebles to make a major six.
These are thus bells that were all cast in Worcester, still ringing across Worcester after nearly 600 and more than 350 years respectively.
