Chipping Norton, St Mary the Virgin

The parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Chipping Norton is at the edge of this Cotswold town with countryside views to the North. The parking near the church on Church Street is very limited and I parked in the middle of town beside Market Street.

St Mary's is a big church and the well proportioned tower provides plenty of room to ring the 8 bells. The ringing room is reached by climbing a spiral staircase whose entrance is from inside the tower.

The Bells

The tower has a ring of 8 bells with a tenor weighing 14-1-4 in F. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at St Mary the Virgin and more information is provided by the Oxford Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers.
