Bells and Ringing

The tower contains a ring of 10 bells, the oldest being the 6th which is believed to have been cast c1350. The heaviest bell, the tenor, is nearly 34cwt and is around 500 years old. The ringing chamber has several posts and beams which makes ringing at Hereford an interesting experience.

The bells are rung every Sunday morning between 9 am and 10 am. We also have a practise on the last Saturday of every month from February to November, 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm. We meet in the north transept 10 minutes before ringing times.

Ringing and non-ringing visitors are welcome on Saturdays and Sundays, if you wish to join a ringing session or would like to request special ringing please contact our secretary via [email protected]
