The contract has now been signed for the erection of two new treble bells, to complete the ocatave, and Badsey will shortly be in possession of a full peal of eight.  It may be remembered that the existing six bells were re-hung a few years ago in a new iron frame with room provided for the two additional bells.  The work, which is to be completed before Christmas, has been entrusted to Messrs Mears and Stainbank.  The bells will bear inscriptions in Latin and will be placed in the belfry as a memorial to Queen Victoria.
