Medieval church bells were made from sheets of iron that were then bent into the shape of the bell and dipped in molten copper. These bells would then be installed in church, or bell, towers. Developments between the 13thand 16thcenturies led to bells being installed on wheels that gave the ringers greater control when ringing the bells.

At the turn of the 19thcentury, change ringing fell in popularity. It became associated with drunks and gamblers. A rift formed between the clergy and the ringers, with the ringers often using the bell towers for their own amusement. They could also be used to make a political statement: the bells in High Wycombe were rung to mark the passing of th...
During World War One, many church bells were requisitioned, melted down and turned into artillery to be sent to the frontline. It was painful for members of the clergy and public to see this happen to their church bells, a symbol of peace and community. Church bells were silenced during World War Twoand were to only ring if there was an invasion. P...
