Sunday Service Ringing

Morning – 9.30am

Evening – Contact Tower Captain to confirm

We have seven ringers who are fully paid-up members of the Southwell Diocesan Guild of Church Bellringers with an additional six who have recently started ringing for Sunday services.

We ring regularly during the year for weddings.

Our band are a friendly bunch and support the Guild and their own district (Bingham) in events associated with raising money for the Bell Repair Fund.

We support our local Bingham District meetings which are held on the second Saturday of each month.

I’m always looking for new ringers!! If anyone would like any information on any aspect of bell-ringing at All Hallows, please do not hesitate to telephone me on 0115 9797415.

Thanks for looking at our page.
