St Mary Magdalene – bells and bellringing

We now have an active team from Cottingham and Middleton ringing the bells at St Mary Magdalene Church.

Supported by tutors Nick and Helen Churchman, and other ringers from the Welland Vallley Benefice, the Cottingham and Middleton team is Joanne Leaning, Hannah Conlon, Jane Smith, Jean Wilkins and Mary Knott.

Bell ringing practice takes place at the Church from 7pm to 8pm every other Monday evening, alternating with Ashley Church. If you’re interested in giving bell ringing a go, take a look at our leaflet below, or contact Joanne Leaning on joanne.leaning@btinternet.com, mobile 07776 261647.
