Bellringing is a very social team activity that introduces you to a global group of friends!


There are a number of key stages involved in learning to ring.


First you learn the technique (see right). This is done by learning each 'stroke' separately: 'Handstroke (see red section of rope)' and 'Backstroke'.

"Ringing in order from the lightest bell (the treble) down to the heaviest (the tenor) in descending scale, is ringing 'rounds'" - Discovering Bells and Bellringing


The animation (see left) is a demonstration of rounds on six bells.
