The Clatford Bell-Ringers @
Upper Clatford & Goodworth Clatford
The Clatford Bell-Ringers generally have their practices on Wednesday evenings from 7.30pm to 9pm.
The 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesdays are at St Peter's, Goodworth Clatford and the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays are usually at All Saints', Upper Clatford. This is subject to seasonal variations and it is always wise to check with the Secretary.
Ringing church bells is a traditional English art, the skill being passed down from generation to generation. There are few places outside the Bristish Isles where church bells are rung in this way.
We welcome visitors who just want to come and watch, especially those from overseas who would not have the opportunity to see this in their own country. We are also happy to welcome anyone who wants to come and learn to ring, or anybody who would like to come and have a go without committing themselves.

The Clatford Ringers have had a busy time as the Year 1 pupils from our village school came and spent a morning in St. Peter’s Church. This includes coming up to the ringing chamber and learning a little bit about the Bells and how they are rung. The highlight for them, is chiming a bell which gives them great pleasure, as you will imagine. Also at the end of June, we had a visit from a local group of U3A to St. Peter’s Church and they too were very interested to go up to the ringing chamber and learn about how the bells are rung. BOOKSTALL. We are still collecting good quality Paperbacks for our Stall and will do so until mid-August. Then we sort them ready for our Fete on the Bank Holiday Monday. We very much look forward to seeing you there and thank you for supporting us, we do appreciate it. Hope for a fine day.
