Bell ringing at All Saints

All Saints Brenchley has a tower with a ring o 8 bells. The first 3 bells were cast in 1610 by Joseph Hatch, then a 4 th in 1729, followed by 2 bells cast in 1813 and 1863, with the last 2 bells cast in 1924. There is information about the bells notes, sizes and manufacturer details at the following website.

At All Saints we have a team of ringers and are always keen to welcome visitors and new recruits. Bell ringing is a fun and energetic activity for anyone of any age and we are always pleased to show people how its done and to have a go. For youngsters we offer the chance to join the ringing team as part of Duke of Edinburgh service.

Bell Ringing Services

Weddings

We aim to be able to ring for weddings taking place in All Saints. We ring after the ceremony as the Bride & Groom walk back down the isle and out of the north door into the churchyard. We usually ring for 30 -40 minutes. If you would like the Bells to help celebrate your wedding please inform the vicar. It is not always possible to ring due to the day of the week and the availability of ringers but we will try hard to providing ringing for every wedding.

The cost of ringing for a wedding is: £250.00

Unfortunately we are usually unable to ring for funerals since most are during the week days and many of our ringers work.
