St Mary's, Storrington

Church St/School Lane Storrington West Sussex, RH20 4LJ, United Kingdom

Church bell ringing is a team activity that stimulates the brain and helps to keep you fit. Many bell ringers consider ringing to be their contribution to church and village life, others do it for the pure pleasure it brings. We have six bells at Storrington and the ringing chamber is situated at the west in of the church - ground floor 'draft'.

Why should you consider learning how to ring the bells?
* Bell ringing can be a lifelong learning experience and a great physical and mental workout!
* You will be helping maintain a traditional skill.
* It's for all ages!
* You will be providing a service to St Mary’s, Storrington, and the wider village.
* It is a team activity and a great way to build relationships.
* Learn how to change ring – creating the traditional peal of bells.
* Get the opportunity to visit other bell towers around the county and the UK to ring bells elsewhere.
We are affiliated with The Sussex County Association of Change Ringers.
