Cheltenham Minster
Cheltenham Minster (previously St Mary's) is located in the middle of Cheltenham, at Church Street. Traffic in Cheltenham is a nightmare, however, there are a number of car park near the town centre.
Access to the ringing room is via a door in the outside of the tower and then via a spiral staircase.

I visited for the first time on Saturday 7th September 2019 as the 5th, and final, tower [1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th] of the WDCRA Southern Branch 2019 Tour.
I rang the tenor and bell #11 for Rounds & Call Changes. I rang bell #7 for Plain Hunt and ened by ring bell #8 for Rounds & Call Changes on the front 8.
The Bells
The tower has a ring of 12 bells with a tenor weighing 21-2-1 in E♭. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at Minster and more information is provided by the Gloucester & Bristol Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers.
