The joyful sound of Christ Church’s bells has echoed across our community for 150 years. Today, the tradition is alive and thriving thanks to an enthusiastic band of  Bellringers, a  friendly group based at  Christ Church, Epsom Common.  We are fortunate to be supported by ringers from other local towers who regularly ring with us, and we in turn enjoy ringing at their home towers. Bellringing is very much a shared community beyond any one church or tower. 

The Epsom Common Bellringers are a very welcoming group, ranging in age from 17 to 92. Some have been ringing for decades, others are just beginning, but they are united by a shared love for this unique and rewarding activity. As long as you can climb the 36 narrow, winding steps to the ringing room, you’re welcome to join the band. 

Our bells, a set of eight, were renewed in 1992 and are beautifully housed in the original oak frame. Easy to ring, they are full of character. They mark life’s important moments: weddings, funerals, festivals, and local celebrations. But behind each toll and chime is a community of people who enjoy what they do.

Bellringing has many benefits, training memory, focus and processing speed in a way that is sociable, absorbing and unexpectedly wonderful.

You do not need to be musical, mathematical or particularly strong, and complete beginners are very welcome. Whether you are new to ringing, returning after a few years away, or already an experienced ringer, come and join us, we are always happy to introduce new people to ringing in a relaxed and supportive environment.
