The Ermington Ringers


The village of Ermington recruits a new team for its refurbished bells. From farmer to printworker, labourer to miller, they gather on a Sunday to ring the bells to the faithful and flocks of all kinds. The village can trace its origins to Saxon times and the church dates to the 14th century. The church’s crooked spire is a famous feature and inspires the pub of the same name and with the First and Last pub, provides sustenance to thirsty bellringers.
