THE BELLS OF CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL, DUBLIN

The cathedral has a complement of 19 bronze bells which are rung by hand by a team of ringers. The bells are rung twice on Sunday to announce services, while on Fridays the ringers practice the art of change-ringing.

Christ Church has the greatest number of bells available for this art in the world. The first bells were cast for Christ Church in the early 15th century, while the society of ringers has been in existence since 1670.

Vacancies exist for four trainees. This is a voluntary role, and open to any fit person.

Anyone wishing to be considered for training as a ringer should contact the Ringing Master, Leslie Taylor on 087 7940587.
