It's only a little village church but sounds well

This makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

Indeed they do Pete.

Take a look at this - it gives all the details of each bell in the tower. The 5 bell is quite an old one - being cast in 1500 (you might need to scroll down a bit to see the detail)

That's what I really like about ringing - it's old stuff. I regularly ring on a set of 8 which were cast in 1728. That's even older than almost anything, has no software whatsoever involved and will probably be around in another 300 years! It's also free, good exercise and keeps the mind active. 

You should go along to the practice & have a watch - they will make you feel welcome and might even let you have a bit of a go.

What older than Hadrians Wall?

We can see a 100 metre long stone wall, from a Copper Age fort, from our house, built 6000 years ago.

I do agree though that our church history is brilliant .

And we should look after them before they get turned into mosques

Wasnt St George Turkish? Maybe Cem can help? As for the whole church bell thing, where I am ,on the Norfolk coast ,there are loads of  really nice village churches which-I believe-are mostly Norman but sadly very few have bells which is a real pity. Guess the costs are just prohibitive. I couldnt believe it when I heard it on the news the other day that even Notre Damme had had to wait for so long before  Paris got her replica bells back
