Bell Ringing

We have eight bells and service ringing takes place every Sunday starting at 9.30am for the 10.30am Family Communion.

Practice night is Thursday from 7.30pm until 9.00pm. Visitors are all always welcome.

Quarter-Peals are arranged for occasional Sunday nights and visitors should ring our Captain on (01452) 721683 if they wish to take part in a Quarter-Peal.

In addition, our Ringing Policy allows for four peals each year – one Visitors Peal each year and the other three peals by the local band and friends.

Quedgeley has a reasonably large band of eighteen ringers. New recruits are always being trained in order to keep the band up to strength and members of the band are always encouraged to improve their competence by attending such events as The Gloucester and Bristol Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers Training Days. In addition, outings and social events are frequently arranged.

Our claim to fame at Quedgeley is that we are the ancestral home of the nationally renowned Young Bell Ringers Cycling Tour . The tour celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1998.

The band took seriously the call to train ringers so that every tower in the land could ring their bells for the Millennium and we continue to train new ringers.

Also, you may be interested to know that bell-ringers have their own weekly newspaper and many websites.
