Call to silence Driffield's All Saints Church bells


Some residents living near an East Yorkshire church are calling for its chimes to be silenced during the night.

The bells of All Saints Church, on Middle Street North in Driffield, have been ringing for the past 177 years.

Now some of the people living near the church say their sleep is being disturbed by the hourly chimes during the night.

They have asked a local councillor for help and are calling for the bells to be silenced between 2300 and 0700.

Such complaints appear more related to the growing hostility and intolerance toward Christianity evidenced in the United Kingdom today than to the chiming of the church's bells disturbing the sleep of local residents.The complain was not made to the church but to the local government council and was drawn to the attention of the BBC, which is notorious for its anti-Christian bias.
