July 7 2019: Bell Ringing demonstration after the Family Service: For nine months before there were four young people learning to ring the bells. They hosted a short demonstration of their skills in the tower. There was also some hand bells and ringing the main bells.
The Bells
The Tower contains a ring of 8 bells installed in 1977 by the Whitehall Bell Foundry .The weight of the tenor is 10¼ cwt. The metal for seven of the bells came from Immanuel Church, Streatham; the remaining bell number 3, cast from metal which may date from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, was already in the tower.
