Bakewell church's bell party for Ringing World centenary


Bells will be rung continuously for 100 minutes at a church in Derbyshire to mark the centenary of a campanology magazine.

All Saints Church, in Bakewell, has enlisted 100 volunteers from churches around the county to celebrate a century of The Ringing World.

The event, which starts at 14:30 BST on Sunday, will see them working in relay to operate the church's eight bells.

Event organiser Pauline Boyle said she hoped people would come to watch.

The volunteers, who are all experienced ringers, have come from churches across the county including Belper, Matlock, Ashford, Bamford and Brackenfield.
