Re-installing the North Front Bells
For generations of Old Stoics, the chimes of the North Front clock were synonymous with life at Stowe. During the early stages of restoration work the bells were removed and remain in storage today – in need of refurbishment prior to being re-hung.



All nine bells will be fully refurbished; new hammers will be fitted with electro-magnetic timing equipment; the bells will finally be re-hung on a new oak support structure above the North Portico; the traditional chimes will become as familiar to present and future generations as they were to their predecessors.

Project cost: £25,000

Funding Idea:
A donation of £2,700 (or £113 per month for 2 years) would provide the funding for the complete refurbishment of one of the nine bells. We would be delighted to designate one of the bells with your family name.
