Campsea Ashe Village Bell
One of the new bells to be cast for the Tower will be dedicated and inscribed to the residents of Campsea Ashe. The cost of this bell will be met through local fund-raising activities over the coming months. Several such activities are detailed below. If you are interested in any of these activities please contact us. We are delighted that the target of £6000 has been reached!!!! Now we are raising funds for the rope and other bits and pieces that will enable us to ring the bell.
Friends of the Ringing Gallery
At present the bells are rung from a ringing chamber in the Tower. The new ringing gallery will be a restoration of an old organ and children’s gallery that was removed in the late 1870’s. The restored Ringing Gallery will be in the rear of the Church some 15 feet or so above ground level and will be easily accessible and the congregation will have a good view of the ringers at work! Who are the Friends? Anyone who supports the restoration of the gallery at Campsea Ashe Church and who is willing to regularly donate a small sum towards its cost.
Sponsored Quarter Peals
Is there a special event coming up? A birthday, anniversary or maybe a wedding? If so, the age old tradition of celebrating through the ringing of a Quarter Peal is ideal. We will ring the Quarter Peal and dedicate it to your special occasion. It will also be recorded in The Ringing World and you will receive a certificate to commemorate the event! Suggested donation of £40 - £50. Please note, all funds raised from the above activities are dedicated to the Bells Project, not general Church funds.
