Bell ringing is a team activity that stimulates the brain and helps you keep fit... It also makes a glorious sound! Many consider ringing to be their contribution to Church life, others do it for the pure pleasure it brings.
What's in it for me?
A hobby which involves:
being part of a team
providing a service for the church
a good social life
continually learning something new
Bell ringing is good fun! Once you have learned the basic technique you will always be made welcome when you visit other towers. There are more than 5,000 church towers and a small number of secular towers with bells suitable for change ringing.
