The Bells
The eight bells, tenor 13cwt, were cast by Mears & Stainbank in 1895 and rehung in 1972 by Whitechapel Bell Foundry, London. Outside the tower, the bells are not very loud because the bells were moved down the tower during the work in 1972. They are below the louvers and as a result, the bells are very easy to ring because the ropes have a short draught (or distance between the ringing room and bell fittings).
​
Access to the ringing room is by spiral stairs, with a handrail, from inside the base of the tower. Visitors, both ringers and non-ringers, are always welcome.

We have a small but active band of ringers, and are always looking for more people to join us. Anyone who would like to try bellringing is very welcome - it is suitable for anyone from about age 10 upwards. No previous knowledge is required, and only general physical fitness, notably the ability to raise both arms above the head while standing up.
​
We always aim to ring to the highest possible standard, and won the Surrey call change competition in 2019, 2023 and 2024.​
The ringers and tower are affiliated with the Surrey Association whose website can be found at www.surreybellringers.org.uk. Contact Anne Rueff for more information.
