New bells, made from the recycled metal from an old peal, have been hoisted into a church tower in Gloucestershire.

St Andrew’s and St Bartholomew’s in Churchdown raised more than £80,000 to replace five of its six historic bells, damaged by centuries of ringing.

The new peal of bells is due to be rung for the first time on Friday.
