Bellringing
|
Their
voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the
world - Psalm 19.4 |
 |
| St.
Mary's Church - The Tower |
St. Mary's Church in Maulden has a ring of eight
bells (augmented from six in 1950), the heaviest of which weighs 10
cwt.
The bells are rung for the Sunday morning service every week and for weddings and special occasions throughout the year.
The ringers practise on Wednesday evenings between 7.45 and 9pm.
Anyone over the age of 11 years can learn to
ring; you do not have to be particularly strong or mathematically minded. There are about 40,000 bell ringers in the UK so
this activity is a great way of making new friends and visiting new places.
If you are already a ringer or if you would like to find out more about the art of church bell ringing, do come along on a Wednesday evening.
For more information or to confirm the practice time, please contact
us.
We look forward to meeting you!
