Welcome to the St Michaels bell ringers web site. This is currently under development and thus there is very little information here at the moment.
We ring for Sunday morning service from 10:30 to 11:00. On the second and fourth Sundays we also rin g at Sowerby from 9:30 to 10:00, and some of their ringers then come and ring with us from 10:30 to 11:00.
Practice night is on Thursday evening from 7:30 to 9:00pm – it used to be on Monday evening however we're trying Thursdays to try and increase attendance.
Visitors are most welcome to join us for Sunday service ringing and on practice nights
We are always pleased to welcome new members be they experienced or beginners. All we ask is that you are available to ring on Sunday mornings. You do not need to be very strong.
If you are interested in learning then please either come along one Monday evening or drop me an email.
We are one of the few remaining towers to still have Yorkshire tail ends on the ropes. The weights of the bells are (in cwt, qtrs and lbs):
