(Y Press) Leeds Bellringers trn down Minster invite to ring at Christmas services

Posted on December 15, 2016 by Kendall Harmon

Bellringers at Leeds Minster have turned down an invitation to ring York Minster’s bells at its Christmas services, in an ”˜act of solidarity’ with York’s axed ringers.

Deputy ringing master Robert Childs said members discussed the invitation from York’s Dean and Chapter during a practice session, and 13 members voted no, with two abstaining.

He said Leeds’ ringers would normally have relished the opportunity to ring York’s bells, which were the finest in the country in terms of the sound.
