The Archbishop of York, Dr David Hope, pictured, heard the restored bell at St Paul's Church in Manningham ring into action during a visit to Bradford.

Dr Hope was in the city yesterday as part of the 175th Anniversary Celebration of St Paul's Church at Shipley.

Dr Hope preached at St Paul's at Shipley before he joined the Bishop of Bradford, the Right Reverend David Smith, at the Manningham church where he carried out a blessing.

The bell was restored after a fundraising effort by the church and its congregation which included support from the archbishop.
