New bellringers shown the ropes

THE BBC reported on a group of bellringers in Suffolk who are training for the King’s coronation.

According to the online article, new members of the group have answered a plea from the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers for people to come forward and learn the skill in time for May’s celebrations. Amanda Richmond of the Association of Ringing Teachers has begun training the group of established and new bellringers at the Church of St Clement in Ipswich.

‘We want to make sure there are ringers for every church so that we can all ring out for the coronation,’ she said.

The article reported that the association is receiving many more enquiries than usual.
