Ringing at Oadby

There is an active local band, which rings all levels from rounds and call-changes through to surprise major, and we regularly ring quarter peals. Visitors are always welcome.

We practice at Oadby on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays (other weeks we practice at Kibworth or Saddington), and ring most Sunday mornings.  If you are thinking of joining us, you would be very welcome, but iti s worth checking beforehand that we are ringing.
​
We are always keen to recruit new ringers. If you might be interested in learning to ring, please contact the tower captain or the Parish Office

The Bells

The bells are a very pleasant and easy going ring. The ringing chamber is up a short, easy stair case.

Until 1901 there were four bells in the tower, three of them dating from c17. In 1901, these bells were recast into a ring of six bells, by Taylor's of Loughborough. In 1988, two trebles, cast by Eijsbout's of Asten (Netherlands), were added by Eayre & Smith.
​
The bells were originally rung from the ground floor, but in 1980, a new floor was built, and the ringing chamber was moved upstairs.
