The history of bellringers & bellringing - Articles

Articles produced by Workgroup members

History & Archive Workgroup members are always looking into ways of sharing information and advice.

Our aim is to make biographic and related information about ringers easily accessible to historians and to interested ringers. We do this mainly by acquiring or discovering information about the lives and achievements of ringers who contributed to the Exercise and publishing Biographic records (over 950 and rising) on the website.

This may sound like a lot of work but it often isn't when you get started.

The following two pieces by John Harrison share some helpful and encouraging messages in published articles.
