St Michael and All Angels Church Ledbury (Bells)

St Michael and All Angels Church Ledbury (Bells)
Golden Apple partner What's this?

A three-year project in the stand-alone tower of Ledbury Church has had a number of very good outcomes.  Considerable improvements to access to all five levels of the tower mean that we can now conduct regular tours including a visit to the parapet with its panoramic views.  The bells have been restored and repaired and you can find out about their fascinating history as well as what exactly it is that bellringers do.  The exhibition on the ground floor covers every aspect of bellringing including a number of colourful stories involving local people.  The exhibition was funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.  You can book a special 90 minute bellringing experience tour of the tower for a group of four.   Much more information can be found on our website: ledburybells.co.uk

Entry Cost

Access to the exhibition is free.  Donations can be made in the church if you have enjoyed the experience.  There is a small charge for standard tours.  Dates will be advertised on the website.  The Bellringing Experience Tour can be arranged through Tower Captain Tim Keyes (07577 720154).

Hours

The exhibition is open every day from around 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.

Directions & Parking

Map pin Church Lane

There is limited parking near the church so it is best to park in one of the town car parks.  Access to the church and tower from the centre of town is via Church Lane by the historic Market House.

Caring For The Planet

As part of the wider project we will have installed modern lighting, heating and other systems in the tower that will be more energy efficient.  We have recently installed swift boxes in the tower and are working with a local group to attract these birds.

There are two great places to get food and drink close to the church in Ledbury in Church Lane: The Prince of Wales has a good range of beers and pies, and The Malthouse has an enticing menu as well as plenty of outdoor tables for the warmer weather.
