The Tower

St James’ Church has a delightful ring of eight bells that are rung regularly for Sunday services, practice nights, peals and quarter-peals. There is also a chiming apparatus that is used for weddings and daily service tunes. We are affiliated to the The Gloucester and Bristol Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers.
In 1994 the bells were re-tuned by John Taylor Bell Founders of Loughborough and re-hung with all new fittings. The upper tier was rebuilt with a new RSJ frame.
