Leominster, (Priory) St Peter & St Paul
The Leominster Priory Church of St Peter & St Paul [1, 2, 3] is a huge Church situated on the West side of the market town. There is a large churchyard and to the south of this there is more parkland. There is little parking beside the church but there is a large car park a short walk to the North-west which can be accessed directly from the A44 that runs through the town.
The ringing room is reached by climbing a stone spiral staircase. There is a small door on the North side of the tower that gives access. Unsurprisingly, the ringing room is large, with plenty of space for those ringing and lots of additional seating.

I visited for the first time on Saturday 18th April 2009 for a general session during the Hereford Ringing Course. I do not know any methods for 10 bells but rang Bell #9 twice for Plain Hunt on 9 plus Rounds & Call Changes. I also rang the same on bell #7. They were a delight to ring.
The Bells
The tower has a ring of 10 bells with a tenor weighing ~22-3-0 in E♭. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at St Peter & St Paul.
The Hereford Diocesan Guild of bellringers also have information on the Leominster Priory Church of St Peter & St Paul. No information on the bells history or inscriptions was to be found.
