We ring for Weddings (a fee applies) and we are willing to ring a quarter peal (taking about 45 minutes) for special occasions such as Weddings and Anniversaries and to mark village events.

The belfry at St Peter’s Church has 6 bells all dated 1896 – 129 year old!  The largest has a diameter of nearly 42” (106cm).  The smallest has a diameter of nearly 30” (76cm)

For centuries, church bells have sounded, calling people to worship, celebrating special occasions, remembering and marking special events, even emergencies.  In very early days, the bells were “chimed” to make a sound but the ringers had little control over the order in which the bells sounded and therefore the “music” they played.

In the sixteenth century, change ringing brought new musicality to church bells.  Bells in church towers began to be hung with a full wheel enabling the bell to swing in a full circle and back again.  This gave ringers control of their bel, which allowed sets of bels 9rings0 to be rung in a continuously changing pattern.

St Peter’s Church is fortunate to have an enthusiastic team of ringers who are thanks for the glorious sound they make before the 10am Sunday services and on other special occasions
