St Mary's Collegiate Church Bell Tower open for visits
St Mary's Church, St. Marys Place, Stafford, Staffordshire, ST16 2AR
We are showcasing the art and science of Bellringing at St Mary’s Collegiate Church in the octagonal belfry. Ascend the spiral staircase to see the history and heritage of the bells. Watch ringing take place in the unique English style and try holding a bell rope. If you are interested in learning to ring you can apply for a course in Bellringing.
On the walls are boards recording the past performances of ringers celebrating many events. See the Stafford leather jack, a very unusual vessel. It carries the names of the bell ringers between 1750 and 1798.
