The Bell Ringers
The bell tower houses six bells: the first five were installed in 1737 and a sixth was added in 1910. The tenor bell weighs eight hundredweight and the treble three and a half hundredweight.
There is a team of ringers which meets for an hour's practice on Mondays at 8pm and rings at 9.30am on Sundays, before the 10am service, and for weddings. The team comprises mainly inexperienced, but enthusiastic, ringers.
We urgently need new ringers, to ensure we have six ringers available on Sundays and for weddings. If you are interested, whether you have rung before or not, please visit the tower during practice on a Monday evening.
