Ringers past and Present

These photographs come from the gallery on the wall of the ringing chamber. They show the ringers from 1928 onwards. If you look at the picture closely you will find that the same names come up again and again over the years.

The originals of these photographs are too large to fit on our web pages. If you would like a high-definition copy, please email us on [email protected]
