The bell-tower of our church is accessed by a metal spiral staircase. As I climb up I listen to the ringers practice in the loft above. Such a beautiful sound.
There are eight bells in all. The oldest dates back to 1565 and the most recent to 2002.
During the week a single bell rings every hour to mark the passing of time and then on Thursdays, Sundays and special occasions the bell-ringers gather to weave their magical peals. They provide the beating heart of our little community.
