HOPE PARISH CHURCH BELLS
(currently suspended due to Covid-19)
Practice night is Tuesdays at 7-9pm, ringers old and new always welcome. We ring in both Hope and Gresford Churches. Best to call call Margaret to find out which church we're meeting on that particular week!
For inquiries email hopechurchringers@gmail.com or phone Margaret Jones on 01978 761018
The bells are a complete ring of six bells from the Loughborough Foundry of John Taylor & Co. The three old original bells were melted down to form the new ring of six in 1920-21, which is a memorial to those who gave their lives in the Great War of 1914-18.
This is a very tuneful ring of six bells which are friendly to handle. The bells are rung for most Sunday morning services and for weddings.
