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!
If you think you might be interested in learning, come and see what it is all about. Either visit the tower during a practice, or contact the tower captain (See Contacts). A few of the many excellent sources of information on learning bell ringing are included in Links. We also welcome visiting bands and will do our best to ensure that you have an enjoyable visit. |
Parking: | On Sundays and evenings, parking is fairly easy to find in the High Street. There is also space for up to eight cars at the rear of the church, which can be accessed from the High Street, down the right hand side of the church. Of course, there is no guarantee that space will be available, and on Wednesdays and farmer's market days (3rd Thursday monthly) it fills up early. Failing that, there are 'pay and display' car parks in Silver Street, Dowell Street and New Street. See Google Map. Coaches are advised to park in the Dowel Street coach park, although there is a loading bay (drop-off and pick-up) in the High Street, outside the church. |
Toilets: |
There are toilets in the church, which can be unlocked on request. |
Visiting Bands | |
Access: | There will be someone to meet a visiting band, normally the tower captain, who will open up the tower to let you in. |
Bells: |
We are requested to keep the bells 'down' when not in use,
so we would normally ask you to ensure they are down when you leave. In May 2007, the clappers were fitted with new bearings, and we also adjusted the ropes, so they should give you no problems. |
Clock: | The chimes and strikes have been silent for years so you need have no worries on that account. |
Donations: |
We are grateful for donations towards the upkeep of the bells, and suggest £12, being £1.50 per rope,
but, if you are planning to ring a peal here, we ask for £40, please. |
