St. Mary's Tower Bell Ringers

St Mary's has a fine ring of 8 Taylor bells that were cast in 1907. Our primary role is to ring the bells for any services that require the bells. In practice this means that we ring for the 10.00am service every week and for any additional services such as Christmas morning and any others that do not occur on a Sunday morning.

At present we have a total of six ringers who regularly attend the morning service ringing. Since we have eight bells available, this means that we generally only ring on six. Despite this, we very rarely miss the morning ringing and we also are able to ring for all the major church services.

We practise on a Friday evening between 7.30pm and 9.10pm. We welcome all visitors whether they can ring or not and if you cannot ring but would like to learn, then please come along and we will arrange some lessons.

For any other information about the bells or the ringing, please contact Rosemary Riddick (Tower Captain) on 01454 613321 or Arthur Robbins (Deputy Tower Captain) on 01454 617491.
