There are twenty five towers in the branch with bells that can be rung; over half of these being six bell towers. They stretch from Maxey in the north; Polebrook in the south; Bulwick in the west; and Peterborough (with three towers) in the east. The City of Peterborough does in fact have six rings of bells, but three are in the Ely Diocese, as the River Nene is part of the boundary between the Diocese of Peterborough and Ely.
The Branch has a regular eight bell practice once a month at Castor which does provide an opportunity for branch issues to be highlighted as necessary. The branch also uses ‘Petnet’, an email messaging system to inform members of news and announcements.
We especially welcome visitors to the branch to join in with our practices and service ringing. Please check with the tower contact to check the local ringing times.
