Bellringers. The bells in our tower are mostly rung for church services, for weddings, for special occasions, in remembrance, and for ringers’ practice and pleasure. Visitors are always welcome to watch Sunday service ringing (from 10.15am) or to come along to the Monday evening practices (from 7.30pm) – there are 39 steps up the tower to the ringing chamber. We are always keen to hear from anyone who might like to learn to ring, but also from anyone who just wants to watch or find out more.
