Bellringing in the Elmley Benefice

Each Church in the Elmley Benefice has an active set of bells.

A weekly bellringing practice is to be held commencing Friday 28th June 2026 from 7pm. Beginners are particularly encouraged to attend and learn the intricacies of bellringing following the installation of our 6 new bells in May. Always check with the Tower Captain that practices are going ahead. A Dedication of The Bells; a service and celebration will be held on 26th July at 5pm.
