ST GEORGE in Norwich will have a ringing ‘Open Day’ for newcomers

Roll up, open to the public to have a go at ringing bells in NORWICH at  ST. GEORGE’S church in the Colegate district of the city.  This district used to be called Norwich over the Water but today the city has expanded so much that it is now in the heart of this ancient city.  The band of ringers that ring the 6 bells here are happy to welcome newcomers to try their hand at the ropes and experience ringing a church bell.  It is all part of the Campaign to celebrate ST.GEORGE’S day and what better way than to ring a bell in a St. George’s church on April 23rd, England’s Patron Saint’s Day. The ringers will attempt a ‘peal’ and at 5 pm will show you how to do it.  A different way to spend a Saturday afternoon – much better than shopping!
