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!

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.
