Welcome to the Guildford Guild Web Site
Welcome to the updated web-site of the Guildford Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers. If you have any comments, suggestions, alterations or potential additions to the website (content/design) please contact the webmaster.
Guildford Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers was founded in 1927 and is dedicated to supporting and encouraging traditional bell ringing in the churches of the Guildford Diocese. We have 64 ringing towers divided amongst four Districts and it currently has over 600 members.
The Guild's Bell Restoration Fund is a registered charity and has raised many thousands of pounds for work on maintaining, repairing, restoring and augmenting rings of bells around the Diocese.
