£1,500 ($2,400) The Treble Bell
£2,000 ($3,200) Number 2 Bell
£2,500 ($4,000) Number 3 Bell
£3,000 ($4,800) Number 4 Bell
£3,500 ($5,600) Number 5 Bell

£4,500 $7,200 Number 7 Bell
£5,000 $8,000 The Tenor Bell

III.
For the contribution of £1,500 / $2,400 a name or inscription will be beautifully applied by hand, in the gilt and painted as a decoration on the gallery's architecture; on the English oak beams or Vestry ceiling joists, etc.

IV.

All donations of £625 ($1,000) will be recorded on a hand painted oak ‘Named Donations Panel' in the Ringing Gallery.

V.

If you wish to make an anonymous or group donation, please state your requirements in the Donation Form. These will be recorded or not, by request, on a plaque.

A minimum donation of $500 has been suggested to avoid trans-Atlantic complications and this creates an opportunity for groups or families to club together to donate.

All smaller gifts will be very much appreciated. For reasons of cost, however, names will not be included on the gilt and handpainted plaque but in a Dedication Book in the Vestry.

VI.

A single donation of £15,000 / $24,000 will secure the dedication of The Ringing Gallery. A gilded and hand painted inscription will adorn the Oak Beam at the front of the Gallery.

VII.
A single donation of £18,750 / $30,000 secures the dedication of the hand carved, gilded and painted Oak Balustrade. Initials and emblems of the donor will be carved into the roundels or panels of the Balustrade railings.

All Donations, Donors names (if required) and their country will

be recorded for posterity

in the DONATIONS BOOK in the Vestry.
