Bellringing

St Peters Church, Martley, 6 bells, Tenor 12-0-22

These are the oldest complete ring of six in the whole country. They were 'chip tuned' in 1914, and completely rehung and returned in 1983/4 by the White chapel foundry. They are rung from the ground floor, and go quite well. The west tower is of brilliant red sandstone and there is plenty of parking in a car park below the church. The entrance to the church is through the south porch.
