East Knoyle Bell Ringers

Could anything symbolise an English country village scene more that the sound of bells ringing out from the church tower?

At St Mary’s we have a friendly group of bell-ringers that practise on Monday evenings and ring for services and special occasions. Some of us also ring at other churches in the benefice and some of their ringers join us. We always welcome additional ringers - would you like to learn to ring or maybe renew an old skill?

It really isn’t too difficult to learn. You don’t have to be musical, although a sense of timing is helpful, and only a basic level of fitness is required. Age is no barrier and you’ll get a sense of satisfaction in playing the biggest musical instrument in the world.

So why not give it a try. If you fancy playing a bit of heavy metal, please contact either Nicki Sturrock (tel 07793 935419) or Paul Naish (tel 01747 832335).
