Bellringing at Christ Church

The Bells at Christ Church Christ Church, Port Sunlight has a peal of eight bells which were installed in time for the opening of the church in 1904. As with most churches in the U.K. the bells are rung 'full circle' which allows change-ringing in the uniquely English style. However, Christ Church is unique itself, being the only United Reformed Church to have such bells which are found mainly in Anglican establishments.

Ringing Occasions

The bells are rung regularly for Sunday Services, at Wednesday evening practices and for weddings - mostly on Saturdays in the summer. Additionally, Peals (3 hours continuous ringing) or Quarter Peals may be rung to mark local or national events.

Learning to Ring

Each ringer in a band must learn to control his/her own bell, coursing through the other bells in a predetermined pattern or 'method'. Although it can take many months for learners to become proficient at even the most basic aspects of change ringing, it is not necessary to be strong or even musically gifted to become a ringer. If you can climb stairs and are between 10 and 60 years of age, you can try. Once competent, ringers are encouraged to become members of the Wirral Branch of the Chester Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers.
