All Saints' has 8 bells which were repaired, re-tuned and refurbished in 2009. We do however struggle to have 8 people to ring them and are desperately seeking new recruits to learn this ancient and worthwhile pastime. Anyone aged 9 to 90 can learn to ring. It does not take great strength or the need to have any musical knowledge. All you need is the ability to climb the 60 steps up to the Ringing Chamber and to be able to count to 8. Previously, the bellringers met every Tuesday evening for practice and rang for Services every Sunday morning and for weddings throughout the year.
The bellringers however are currently looking for a new Tower Captain!
