Our eleven branches are all active, despite the very rural and sparsely populated nature of some of them.
Visitors are warmly welcome and details of our practices and meetings can be found by date in the What’s on listing and on the Towers and Branches pages.
Please use our tower contacts if you would like to check local details or make specific arrangements such as for outings. Most towers ring for Sunday services, sometimes arranged on a rota basis with others nearby, and ringing at all levels is encouraged.
The Association continues to flourish with the goodwill, enthusiasm and support of its members in promoting the art of change ringing throughout the Diocese which in 2009 celebrated the 1100th anniversary of its foundation.
it is with sadness that i have to report that Margaret Bailey, a member of the branch for 29 years, Tower Captain of St. Mary’s Hutton, and previously a ringer at St.Georges, Hyde in Greater Manchester, passed away at home on Sunday 19th April.
Details of funeral arrangements and ringing will follow in due course.
