Bell Ringers

Belling ringing at Somerton has been an activity since the 17c, with the earliest bell date 1635.Opportunity to explore our historic church buildings.

Nowadays we have practise evenings every Thursday, starting at:

• 7:00 pm for people learning to ring
• 7:30 pm for those more accomplished in the art.

Currently we ring at either Somerton and North Aston; note for the last Thursday of the month, we make a point of being at Lower Heyford. You are most welcome to come and join or watch us practising. We intend to practise at other churches in the Cherwell Benefice in the future.

We plan to ring in May to celebrate the King’s coronation, though we do need more bell ringers to achieve this at all the churches in our benefice. You can get in touch via [email protected] or just come along and join us when you hear the bells!
