Noise row silences 200-year ringing of Beith church bell
By Cameron Angus MackayJournalist
A church bell that sounded every hour for More Than 200 years has been silenced after a noise complaint.
The 24-hour ringing at Beith Parish Church in Ayrshire was stopped after a resident told council environmental health their sleep had been disturbed.
The Church of Scotland has now stopped The Bell between 23:00 and 07:00.
A petition to restore the 24-hour chime has gathered More Than 900 signatures. Organisers say The Tradition is part of the Beith's " history and heritage".
Following The Noise complaint, North Ayrshire Council asked The Church of Scotland to consider silencing The Bell overnight.
The Church 's Kirk Session said members were " empathetic" and recognised it could be disturbing for Some People .
A spokesperson said: " The Kirk Session took Environmental Health's suggestion on board, embracing The Bible teaching of love thy neighbour as thyself. "
However, Beith resident Bryan McWilliams, who has lived next to The Church for twenty three years, has now launched a petition to reverse The Move .
One person's discomfortHe believes The Loss of The Bell has disrupted The Town 's sense of community and identity.
He Said : " The chiming clock is More Than just a timekeeper. It serves as an audible connection to our history and heritage and has been chiming for 200 years.
" Many townsfolk have shared stories about how they've relied on these chimes throughout their Lives - from knowing when it was time to head home as children playing in The Streets , to relying on them during power outages.
" We understand that everyone's comfort is important. However, we believe that one person's discomfort should not outweigh a tradition loved by many and ingrained in our community for generations. "
Beith Parish Church was built in 1810. Church archivist Tom Hart said there were previous discussions about The Bell in the 1990s, however, the 24-hour tradition continued.
North Ayrshire Council said that The Church was advised that, when assessing for nuisance, environmental Health Inspectors would consider the fact that The Noise was for long-established cultural or religious reasons.
