Jonathan Hughes first mini-ring was a 4 hung on the roof of his parents shed.

The Binley Woods Bell Tower was constructed during the end of 2004, with the first try-out being in January 2005.  (Pictures of the first try-out can be viewed here.)  The first Quarter Peal was:

3            Jo Rontree
4            Andrew Middlicott

Conducted by Jonathan Hughes.

First Quarter Peal on the bells. Rung open on the back 5. 

The Bell Tower is a fine teaching aid as the bells handle so well that the ringers can concentrate on the method/striking rather than bell control.

As this is a private mini-ring, visiting bands are welcome by prior arrangement and visiting ringers are asked to make an appropriate donation.  We welcome Peal & Quarter Peal bands, and outings but can't accommodate more than 20 visitors at a time.

The tower location can be viewed here or here.
