Bellringers

St. Tudy’s bellringers are available for all the church services, weddings, funerals etc. And on New Years Eve they always ring in the New Year.   The team consists of seven men and one woman

Every Monday evening the ringers practice at the parish church and by prior arrangement they also ring the bells at St. Mabyn, St. Breward and Blisland churches.

Every year there is an annual trip around Cornwall when they ring at six different towers in one day.  They have even rung the bells on Lundy Island.  The money received for ringing bells at weddings etc funds these trips.

There were only 4 bells until 1751 when Abel Rudhall cast 5 bells at Gloucester.  A treble bell was added in 1923 and all the bells were re-hung in 1934 and again in 1974.
