Hurstpierpoint Bell Ringers

A warm welcome from the Bell Ringers of Holy Trinity, Hurstpierpoint.

We are a small, friendly band of ringers offering a warm welcome to all visitors whether ringers, those wishing to learn to ring, or anyone who would like to visit us in the belfry.

The tower has eight bells with the tenor weighing 12cwt 3qtr 6lb (650kg) in the key of G. More details of the Holy Trinity's bells and their history can be found here. Please use the other navigation buttons at the top of this page to find other details. Hurstpierpoint, in West Sussex (within the Mid-Sussex district) is one of the founding towers of the Sussex County Association of Change Ringers.

We ring on Sundays from 8.45 a.m. for the 9.30 a.m. Family Eucharist. We also have a small band of chimers who man our Ellacombe chiming apparatus, one of the few regularly used examples in the country. They chime at 7.45 a.m. for the 8.00 said Holy Communion service on the first Sunday of each month and for the fortnightly 11.00 a.m. service, as well as for some special Services and events.

We also have a set of 25 handbells cast by the Whitechapel foundry but at the present time our once flourishing handbell ringing band, is lacking in numbers and not practising or performing.

Tower practice night is Thursday evening. Usually it is from 7.30 p.m. - 9.00 p.m. Occasionally we start slightly earlier, from 7 p.m., to accommodate training (see the Practices page) Directions to the ringing chamber are on the Practices page. Ringing for other events, including visiting bands, is by prior arrangement.
