This is a set of 5 electromagnetically operated chiming hammers, one against each bell and connected to a control box in the ringing chamber. At a press of a button, we can have a vast range of options including pealing bells, a calling bell and a funeral bell.The bells can still be rung by the ringers but in the future, it means that if we are unable to ring, the bells, which are such an integral part of the community, will always be heard.
Tots is a friendly group for children aged 0-5 and their parents, grandparents or carers.

There's a great range of toys and activities and always songs, a bible story and some prayers.You are welcome no matter where you live and our volunteers look forward to seeing you soon!
