At Whittle-le-Woods St. John's Church we have a ring of 8 Taylor's Bells. The bells were installed just over a hundred years ago, in October 1910, along with the bells, a Ellacomb Chime and Seage's Silent Ringing Apparatus were fitted. The Silent Ringing Apparatus was invented by Epahras Seage, an Exeter printing engineer around 1875. The Apparatus has not been used for many years and the tower is fairly unique in that there is a complete set of the equipment still there, although not fully installed anymore.
As a project for 2014 we have decide to get the Apparatus back in working order.
