Have you ever considered learning the ancient art of change-ringing? Would you welcome the challenge of mastering a new mental and physical skill, and making new friendships too? Have you ever thought where the expressions "go like the clappers", "ring the changes" and "peals of laughter" originated? The answers lie up the bell tower!All Saints' Helmsley is proud to have a ring of eight bells hung for change-ringing. This is a unique English tradition and all are welcome to come and learn the ropes!For further information contact Tower Captain, Simon Goodman: Tel. 01439 771703
