At Uplyme Church the bells are rung each Sunday morning to call people to worship, for weddings, funerals and special occasions, a tradition going back hundreds of years.
There are six bells, each a different weight, and therefore six people are needed to ring them. We have a dedicated band of bell ringers who would love to encourage more people to learn the art.
How old do you have to be? Any age – from teens upwards.
Do you have to be strong? No – but it helps to be fairly fit particularly in the upper body area, as your arms need to be stretched above you.
When do you practice? Every Friday evening at 7.30pm
Would I be expected to ring every Sunday? No – Only when you can
Would I be expected to ring on other occasions – like weddings? No – Only when you can
Who should I contact? The Bell Ringing Captain – James Booth through the Church Office 01297 444499 or the web site.
