See also Calendar of Extra Ringing.
About once a month, on a Sunday evening, we arrange to ring a Quarter Peal. This takes about fifty minutes before the 5:30pm Evening Service at St Helen's. We ring for Weddings at both churches. Sometimes visiting ringers come or occasionally there is an attempt to ring a full peal. All these are usually on a Saturday. We also arrange silent practices at St Helen's for learners using a simulator. Extra ringing is arranged for special occasions like an event of national importance (such as a royal birth, marriage or death), local importance (bun throwing, royal visit, civic funeral) and at the request of the church congregation. The bells are half-muffled for Remembrance Sunday. If you would like to come and see us ring, please contact us. Potential learners are welcome to have a try. |
