The Church of England - Diocese of Chichester

St Nicholas' Church, Arundel
The Bell Tower and Ringers


The Church of St Nicholas', Arundel, with it's stong square tower, was rebuilt from an earlier church on the site in 1380. Our ring is of eight bells, with the tenor 13cwt - 3qr - 4lb (1544lb or 700kg) in E.

More details about Arundel's bells can be found on Doves Guide for Church Bell ringers

A faithful band climbs the sixty steps to the ringing chamber every Sunday to ring for the morning service, and at other times for weddings and special occasions. Arundel's bells are used for District Practice on alternate Friday evenings and it is a popular tower for visiting bands.

Reccords show that 244 peals have been rung at Arundel up to May 2009

More information about learning to ring, joining the Arundel band, attending Friday practices or visiting as an individual or a group - please contact the Tower Captain, Mr Geoff Lee, on (01243) 542 520.

Visitors are always welcome for Sunday service ringing, from 9.30 am to 10.00 am.
