There is a long tradition of both tower bell ringing and handbell
ringing at St. Mary's Church. Adults and children from the age of 12 can learn the art of bell
ringing and handbell ringing.
If you would like further information
about bell ringing or the Church Bells then please contact Mike Till through the
Parish Office.
Tower Bells
St. Mary's is well known for its peal of ten bells that are rung
for Sunday Services and some weddings. Methods are rung according
to the skill of the group assembled. Our friendly group of ringers
meets to practice every Tuesday at 7:30pm throughout the year.
The Barfield Handbell Ringers
Barfield Handbell Ringers were early members of The Handbell
Ringers of Great Britain. In accordance with the objectives of this
registered charity, they seek to cultivate the art of tune ringing on
handbells. The group practices on Monday evenings and performs at
concerts, festivals and other occasions throughout the year.
