We've put together a few pages to tell you all about our bells and give you all the information you need if you want to visit our tower as a ringing band or learn to ring yourself.
Here at Kirkburton we have a ring of 8 bells in our tower. The bells are mounted on two levels with 6 on one level and 2 on the next level up. Our bells are hung on a metal frame.
We are currently building our pages and will introuduce a page all about the history of our bells soon in the mean time heres a bit of information on our bells:
Bells | 8 (full-circle ring) |
Tenor | 15–2–23 (1759 lb or 798 kg) in F (706.0 Hz) |
The above information has been taken from Dove's Guide and more information can be found by clicking here.
The below video gives you a bit of a tour of our tower including our fantastic staircase. Our Tower Captain Mark gives you a bit of history in the video from the bell chamber.
We ring every Sunday before the service starts and we ring for 45mins.
Our regular ringing practice is on a Wednesday 7pm - 8:30pm.
