We were blessed in 2006 with the arrival from Canterbury Diocese of our curate, Rev Simon Richardson. Further blessings came our way with the news that he was to become our new rector. We may pray that, as well as being a shepherd to lead us in safe ways, he may be revealed to be as gifted and inspired as a conductor of a fine orchestra; leading us, encouraging us and drawing on the potential of each of us to be instruments in the work of the Church. May we, as ringers, be inspired to use the bells we have been gifted with by past faithful to be instruments for proclaiming the glory of God and calling the people around us to worship with us or wherever they are; at whichever place to be mindful of the calling made to each and every one of them.

The bell from Hilltown church now installed in Hillsborough tower along with its 1772 travel companions.  It is fitted with a motor which allows it to be operated as a 'swing chiming' bell.  The bell is variously referred to as the 'Barry bell' and the 'Hilltown bell'
