Chelsea Old Church Bells
The Tower contains a ring of 8 bells; the weight of the tenor
is 10 1/4 cwt, installed in 1977 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.
The metal for seven of the bells came from Immanuel Church,
Streatham, the remaining bell the number 3, was already in
the tower, cast from metal which may date from the reign of
Queen Elizabeth I. More information about the bell can be
found on the history pages of the website, <click

Service Ringing
The bells are rung for Evensong
from 5.15p.m. each Sunday.
For several months past a 1/4 Peal has been rung by a band
arranged by Nick Simon on the 3rd and 5th Sundays in the month.
On Sunday 29th
January 2006 a visiting band rang on our bells a true and
complete peal of Yorkshire Surprise Major consisting
of 5152 changes in 2 hours and 52 minutes to welcome
the new vicar of Chelsea Old Church the Reverend Canon
David Reindorp to this living.
Other Service ringing
for Weddings, Funerals and Memorials etc. is by arrangement
