Britain's What's On Event Guide
Borden Bell Tower
Heritage Open Day: 400 years ago John and Henry Wilnar set up a bell foundry in Borden and about 60 of their bells are still being rung around the South East of England. The 6 bells John made for the Borden tower, however, were recast by the Whitechapel foundry in 1802 into the 8 bells that are rung at Borden today. Climb the spiral stone stairway to the ringing chamber where historical artefacts and the room itself are being prepared for restoration. The room is also home to the church clock. G
