The ten bells of St George's #Stockport (29-3-12), rang out again on 14th October for a service to welcome our new Bishop of Stockport, Rt Rev Sam Corley. Sam, himself an accomplished ringer, took part for some #bellringing Grandsire Caters - to the delight of the local band.

Chester Diocesan Guild greatly mourns the death of Her Majesty The Queen. The muffled bells of #Cheshire will proudly toll for the next ten days. The sound of muted #bellringing gently echoing all across towns, villages, county and countryside. God save the King.
