Become a bell ringer
Join a tradition dating back 400 years. Come and learn the art of "Change Ringing".
The origins of change ringing lie in the sixteenth century when church bells began to be hung with a full wheel. This gave ringers control of their bell, which allows sets of bells (rings) to be rung in a continously changing pattern.
Music is created by moving bells up and down the ringing order to a defined sequence of changes know as a "method". Learning a few simple methods allows ringers to join in with other bands in towers around the country and around the world.
