  • Wedding ringing charges
    Here at St Tudy in Cornwall we charge £100 for the wedding bells and we ring half an hour before and after the service. No part of this payment goes to individual ringers, but it is paid to the PCC Bell Fund for bell maintenance. I consider it is my duty and privilege to ring for any church service without personal payment.
  • Dust and stone debris on bell wheels
    My routine check list for the tower at St Tudy in Cornwall does not include looking at the top of the wheels for debris so I will add it to the list. My first thought was that as soon as the bell is rung debris would fall off. However, during the winter when the tower is damp, debris could stick to the top of the wheel.
