St Leonard’s Bell Ringers
When the bells were first hung at Heston, it was a ring of 6, mounted on plain bearings in a wooden frame. In 1856, these bells were recast. In 1908, two trebles were added, to make it a ring of 8 and to complete the octave. At some time during the early 1930s, the wooden frame was replaced by a metal one and the plain bearings were replaced by ball bearings. No other major work was carried out on the bells themselves until 1986, when it was decided that a crack in one of the cannons on the Forth warranted the attention of a bell foundry. When the bells were re-hung, the Second was chosen in honour of the 1st/2nd Heston Scouts, who had raised a substantial amount of money for the bell restoration.
St Leonard’s Sunday School
St Leonard's has a thriving Sunday School and all children are welcome at 10 o'clock on a Sunday.

Day of Prayer
“There will be a meeting during coffee after the 10am service this morning to discuss and plan the “Day of Prayer” that is going to be held on Saturday 24th March. More details from Revd Ann.”
I have a plan to compile a “Parish Recipe Book” of people’s favourite recipes. Maybe you have a Family Favourite handed down from generation to generation, or Grandma’s Special.
If so, please could you let me have a copy of the recipe so that I can include it in the book. It doesn’t have to be typewritten or word-processed; Hand-written will be fine. (I don’t think I can cope with tablets of stone) Thank-you.
