Ringing CensusShape the Future of Bellringing: The 2026 Ringing Census

How many active bellringers are there today? Where are our active towers? Surprisingly, we currently lack a complete, data-driven answer to these questions.

To change this, the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers (CCCBR) is conducting the 2026 Ringing Census. Taking place during Census Week, 16–22 November 2026, this nationwide initiative aims to build the most comprehensive picture of bellringing for nearly 40 years.

Books by Andrew Giles

Andrew GilesLocal ringer and historian Andrew Giles has very kindly made available for free download two of his excellent publications about ringers and bells in our Association's area.

The books are in PDF format and Andrew would be delighted if you would take the opportunity to download and read them at your leisure in the hope that they will increase interest in ringing locally and, if read by non-ringers, inspire readers to get involved and try our fascinating and very sociable pastime.

There are two books available:

The Bells and Ringers of St Peters Church Pentre Rhondda Wales 1890 - 1954
The Bells and Ringers of All Saints Church Llanbradach South Wales

Please remember that the Copyright for both publications resides with Andrew Giles.
