Honiton Ringers

Outing at Corfe

St. Pauls Church

St. Paul's Church, High Street, Honiton, Devon, EX14 1PG - 8 bells, 12 cwt.
Welcome:	We encourage bellringing of all standards in the tower, mainly method but also call-changes, and we welcome ringers of all persuasions. If you are ever in the area please drop in on a practice night, or Sunday morning. We offer a warm welcome, even in the colder months!
Location:	Google Map
The Bells:	The tower at St. Paul's church is 104ft high and houses a fine ring of eight bells hung for traditional English style change ringing. The oldest bell is dated 1769 and is amongst 6 recovered from the Chapel of All Hallows School. 2 more bells were added in 1949. Dove's Guide gives details of weights, founders, grid reference etc. They are an easy going 8, fitted with Hastings Stays and shear pins on the front 4, which is supposed to mean that we only have to replace a peg in the event of a breakage.

Ringing Times
Services:	Sundays	10.30-11.00 am
Weekly Practices:	Every Wednesday	7.30-9.00 pm
	You are invited to join us, experts and learners alike. We try to ring something for everyone.

Starter Sessions:	We also hold special learners/introductory sessions, as and when required, using the simulator.
Simulator:	We have a Beltower simulator and a single sensor, allowing a ringer to practise listening and striking, and to ring challenging methods, on up to 16 bells, with a perfect band. It is available for use at normal practices, listening practices, starter sessions or at any other time, by prior arrangement.
