Bristol Rural Branch
Part of The Gloucester & Bristol Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers
Welcome to the Bristol Rural Branch of The Gloucester & Bristol Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers
The Branch supports and promotes church bell ringing (also known as campanology) across an area to the North and East of Bristol, from Thornbury clockwise to Bitton. That's over twenty churches and many, many bellringers. We ring the bells for Sunday service, weddings and for fun. Bell ringing is a mentally and physically stimulating pastime and very sociable. If you think you might be interested in learning more about bell ringing, or you would like to try your hand at ringing a bell, please
contact
us for further help and advice. You'll find more information in our
Introduction to Bell Ringing.
