The 6 bells at Linkinhorne are mainly the work of John Pennington from 1805, the 3rd re-cast in 1923 by John Taylor of Loughborough. At the same time, Taylors rehung the bells in a new cast iron frame, with new ringing fittings, and tuned all six.

The bells are very fine sounding but the tall granite tower and long rope draught make them tricky to say the least, mainly due to the clarity of the bells in the ringing room.

Linkinhorne is situated about 3 miles North West of Callington and is a very rural community.

Enjoy!
