Currently the ten bells of St Mary’s in Walthamstow Village ring out every Wednesday evening and Sunday morning. Six of the bells are from 1778, and all are old and desperately in need of restoration. £60,000 needs to be raised for their repair or they will be forced to fall silent.
The sound of the bells is mentioned in ‘17 reasons to live in Walthamstow’ created by local artist, Paul Lindt, originally for Estates 17. The artwork is now available as a print and also as a signed limited edition version of 50 from the E17 Art House.
All available from the E17 Art House, 6-10 Church Hill, Stainforth Rd entrance, Walthamstow E17 3RY. www.e17arthouse.com
2 versions:
- A4+ print – £12 of which minimum of £6 goes to the Bell Restoration Fund
- Limited edition of 50, signed giclée – £40 of which minimum of £20 goes to the Bell Restoration Fund
