St Giles, Lincoln: 70th Anniversary WLB wins Founders' Prize Lundy 2008
The territory covered by the Guild is the Anglican Diocese of Lincoln, comprising the whole of Lincolnshire as it was before the 1974 boundary revision. Most of the county's 600 fine churches are mediæval and the jewel in Lincolnshire's crown is undoubtedly Lincoln Cathedral.
About 270 of our churches have bells hung for full-circle ringing and there has been a great deal of re-hanging and augmentation in recent years. Contact information and other details can be found in the Towers Directory.
There is a great deal of enthusiasm and goodwill amongst bell ringers in Lincolnshire and the health of the Guild is reflected in the number and complexity of peals and quarter peals both in the tower and on handbells.
In addition to the usual tower and branch practices, as will be seen in the Ringing Diary there are a number of special practices and training sessions to enable those who wish to do so to progress in the Art.
The Guild Newsletter which first appeared in May 2005 and is published at four-monthly intervals has helped to improve communication in the Guild. If you would like to receive a personal notice please let the Editorial Committee have your email address.
A history of the Guild is also available on this web site.
This page shows ringing at various churches, a mini-ring and both Guild simulators. Ringers taking part in a handbell performance are also shown. A wide range of ages and most branches of the Guild are represented.
If you are not a bell ringer, and would like to know more about the English art of change-ringing, you may wish to look at this explanatory web page.
