A village’s church bells will be ready to ring out for King Charles III’s coronation in May, bell ringers say.
The eight bells at St Peter’s in Alton, Staffordshire, were removed in October under a £100,000 restoration project.
Work has begun to put them back along with two new bells, and tower captain Alan Walters says he hopes to have them ready for Easter.
“The main thing is the Coronation, we want to be able to ring for that,” he said.
“If we miss Easter then we will be fine for the Coronation.”
