The Charmborough Ring is ideal for presenting
“change–ringing”
to the public and for introducing newcomers to this physically and intellectually rewarding team activity.
The Charmborough Ring is a portable belfry with six bells that can be rung in the same way as those in churches and cathedrals throughout the country. The Ring is probably the easiest portable belfry in the world to ring due to its relatively large bells and wheels compared with other “mini-rings”.
Follow the links on the left for information about the Ring, and how it can be hired from The Charmborough Bell Trust, a registered charity
that administers its use.

Roger Bailey, died on 22nd January 2013 at the age of 66 after a long battle with cancer. He was a founding Trustee of the Charmborough Bell Trust and, formerly, a co-owner of the Charmborough Ring. He was hugely influential as a ringer, conductor, composer and teacher on tower bells and handbells, and for many years was a stalwart of the MCA&LDG and supported the ULSCR since his undergraduate days. An obituary appeared in
The Ringing World on 15th March 2013, and
here is something he wrote about himself.
