Church Bellringing

Organisation Details

Name: Church Bellringing
Area Covered: Daventry
Further Information:

We are the Daventry Branch (one of ten branches) of the Peterborough Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers.

Our purpose is to ring bells for services; recruit and train ringers; encourage the art of change ringing; help ringers to improve their standard of ringing; and to care and restore bells and their fittings. We have about 100 members around Daventry at 22 different towers.

We meet on the second Saturday of most months at 3:00pm for a practice, followed by a short service at 4:30pm and tea and business meeting at 5:00pm. Afterwards we ring at the second tower from 6:45pm - 8:15pm.
