Matthew Higby passes the 'Symbolic Rope' to the Vicar, and informs him that the bells have been re-hung.

 
The Vicar hands the rope to the Bishop and asks him to re-dedicate the bells

 

Having done so, the Bishop hands the rope to the Churchwardens, asking them to accept charge of the bells

 
The Vicar gives the Ringing Master the authority to ring the bells, and the Tower Captain leads the Ringing Master to ring a bell briefly while the members of the Dedication Party return to their seats.
