Honington, All Saints
The parish Church of All Saints is in the East of the small hamlet of Honington and very close to Honington Hall, though you cannot see the Hall from the churchyard. There is a space to park near the church just to the left of the entrance to the grounds of Honington Hall. The inside of the church is quite unusual with its predominantly pale blue interior, rather like a poor mans version of Witley Court's Church.
The ringing room is on the ground floor of the sizable tower but can only be entered from the South face of the tower and not from the body of the Church. While it is a large space it is very cluttered and barely enough floor space is kept clear to ring the six bells.

I visited for the first time on Thursday 15th July 2010 for the "Two Hundred and Fourtyninth Mid-week Outing" of the Four Shires Guild of Bell Ringers. The local key holder turned up 20 minutes after we were due to start so we did not have a great deal of time for 20 people to ring. I rang a touch on Plain Bob Minor which went ok but didn't sound great. Talking to others it seems that it was not just my inexperience, they were just difficult and not very melodious.
The Bells
The tower has a ring of 6 bells with a tenor weighing ~13-0-0 in A♭. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at All Saints and more information is provided by the Coventry Diocesan Guild.
