Bell-Ringing

Learning to ring is an art which has been developed and passed on from one generation to another in Britain for hundreds of years.  Bell-ringing is a wonderful blend of sport, music, exercise, friendship; a challenge to your wits and skill; very satisfying when you get it right; and a service to the church. 

At All Saints’ we have a dedicated team who are more than willing to get you  started, and anyone who is interested, or even just wants to see our historic bells, are welcome to visit us for bell-ringing practice between 7.00 – 9.00pm on Thursdays.  It takes approximately six weekly sessions before you are able to ring on your own. We also have hand bells for younger members who would like join in.
The Bells of All Saints'
Our are the loud voice of the church, speaking out over the surrounding community, and also a much cherished part of our unique heritage. The Fifth bell, originally cast in 1580, is reputed to be the oldest in the county.
  • The treble (John Briant, Hertford, 1815);
  • Second (John Briant, Hertford, 1816);
  • Third (Newcombe of Leicester, 1616, recast 1899 by Taylor, Loughborough);
  • Fourth (John Briant, Hertford, 1811);
  • Fifth (John Dier, 1580, recast 1899 by Taylor, Loughborough);
  • Tenor (Anthony Chandler, Drayton Parslow, 1673).
​​If you are interested in seeing the bells for yourself, do visit us for ringing practice (calling Delroy ahead would be very much appreciated) or on our next Open Day.
