Carlisle Diocesan

Guild of Church Bellringers

St John's, Hensingham is part of the Western Branch of the Carlisle Diocesan Guild of Bellringers.

 

   

We ring to call the faithful to worship and to remind others of the church's presence in the community.

 
Interesting Info
The first complete ring of bells fitted with a set of modern ball bearings was at Hensingham.

 

The bells of St John's were presented by The Musgrave Family in 1914.
