SJ 288294 Sunday: 9.45 - 10.30am 5.45 - 6.30pm Thursday: 7.45 - 9.00pm 2, 3, 4, 6, and Tenor cast by Abraham Rudhall I of Gloucester in 1717, 5 by Charles and George Mears of Whitechapel in 1846, 7 by Abel Rudhall in 1747 and the Treble by John Taylor of Loughborough in 1880. There is a large studded door on the south side of the tower and inside this is a second door which is released from the ringing room when the visitors identify themselves over an intercom system. A circuitous route leads to a large ringing room in which hangs a good collection of peal boards including one dating from 1731 and one recording a peal of Grandsire Triples rung in 1785 by the Anacreontic Society.
