The History of Bell Ringing Audio Recordings of the Oxford Diocesan Church Bells

These recordings form part of the long term project to establish a complete collection of the sounds of all the bells in all the Oxford Diocesan Churches

If you know of anyone who has any recordings (on any kind on any media) then please contact the Guild Webmaster with the details.

The recordings are in the format of .MP3 files and in order to play then you will need a suitable media player on your PC. Most modern PCs come with such a media player already installed but if you do not have such software then there are many freeware products that you can download from the web very easily

The recordings are in no way meant to portray the standard of ringing at any particular tower it is only meant to provide the sound of the bells themselves. Nevertheless ringers may aspire to better striking etc once they have heard other towers ringing with great skill
