Restoration of the BellsPrint Page 
The stone commemorates the restoration and re-hanging of the eight bells in the western tower of St Johns Cathedral. The stone was unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II in 1988.
The bells have a long and interesting history, having first been purchased by public subscription back in 1876. Originally hung for chiming at the Pro-Cathedral in George Street, they were moved to the present Cathedral site in 1910 where they were hung in a temporary wooden tower and chimed for service. It was only in 1988 that the bells were finally hung in the Cathdral proper for full-circle ringing, being dedicated on the 13th March 1988.
