Music & Bells

Music

Music plays a central role in many aspects of the church life.

Our congregation enjoys a wide range of music at the various services, ranging from the traditional to the very contemporary, the formal to the much more informal.  The music group, made up of members of the congregation, supports worship at morning services and at a monthly informal service.

Bell Ringing

The peal of bells from Burford church is much loved by the community and visitors alike. Our church boasts 8 bells: the tenor weighs 17cwt and, dating from the middle of the 14th Century, is one of the oldest bells in the country still rung to changes. Unusually, most of the bells were actually cast in Burford, where foundries operated from the 17th to the 20th Centuries.

Service Ringing:
Usually at 10.15am for 11.00am Service.

Practice Night:
Fridays 7.30 - 9.00pm, except on the first Friday in the month when the practice is at Fulbrook.

As the above times may be subject to variation please check with Nigel Harrison 01993 823418.
