I visited for the first time on Friday 17th April 2009 for a practical session during the Hereford Ringing Course. You climb a stone spiral staircase to the ringing room. I rang some plain courses of Bob Minor on bells #3 and #5 of the back 6. They seemed to go ok but I understand that the Tenor was harder work.
The Bells
The tower has a ring of 8 bells with a tenor weighing 15-2-24 in F. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Hereford Diocesan Guild of bellringers also have information on the Madley Parish Church of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. No information on the bells history or inscriptions was to be found.
