Story
It's more than 100 years since the 8 bells at St Gregory's Church had a professional overhaul. In the interim, Suffolk Guild members worked on the bells, and put the 7th and the tenor on ball bearings, these fittings are now wearing badly, along with the fittings on the other 6 bells and all are becoming difficult to ring. The parishioners are always pleased to hear the bells ring for Sunday Services, and so the bell ringers are keen to have the bells overhauled without causing financial problems for the parish.

I'm the Tower Captain of St Gregory's church. We are a keen band of ringers. We like to teach anyone who is interested in learning this rewarding hobby. It is not necessary to be a member of the church -anyone is welcome to try. The bells add to the heritage of this Suffolk town.
