There are four churches across the Borough that have working bell towers and a team of volunteers ensure that bells are rung for Sunday Service, weddings, funerals and to mark special occasions. During the week, All Saints’ Benhilton Church in Sutton will open its doors to people wanting to learn or simply find out more.
Sheila Cheesman, Bell Ringing Teacher said; "Bell-ringing is something which the whole community can appreciate. Many residents often say how much they enjoy hearing the church bells but are unclear on how to get involved. Give Us A Ring week is a chance to find out more and have a go for yourself. It doesn’t take long to master the basics and almost anyone can take part."
Helen 21 years old from Sutton who has been ringing since 13 said; "Ringing requires a real focus, it is great learning a new skill which has introduced me to a whole new world."
