Tower News
Llangynwyd, St Cynwyd
All ringing has been prohibited on the advice of an architect, the advice being that shaking/vibrations might crack the rendering. We will be following this up as there is some doubt that the tower is actually rendered and might be limewashed.
Chepstow, St Mary
Updated 1st April 2018
Please note that Sunday Service ringing is from 10:30 - 11:00am (no evening ringing) and that there is no weekly Practice Night.
Michaelston-y-Fedw, St Michael
Please note that there will no longer be a weekly Thursday evening Practice at this tower.
Llantilio Pertholey, St Teilo
Practice Night arrangments changed; there will now be a weekly Practice on Thursday evenings.
