Greener St Peter's

At St Peter’s we want to live more responsibly in God's world both as a church and individually. We are actively engaging with other churches, our councillors and MP on local environmental initiatives.

​

Download this to see what is happening 8-16 June. Also here for events on Earth in Crisis at St Francis Church, Bournville.

​

St Peter’s is now a SILVER eco-church.

A big thank you and well done to everyone who has contributed to this, with the hall double glazing, the wildlife surveys, our worship and prayers, regular litter picks, the beautiful garden, and so much more.

Tower Bell Ringing at St Peter's

TamsinLane.jpg

The bells are rung on Sunday 9.15 – 10.00am, before the Eucharist Service, and 5.45 – 6.30pm before Evensong.

Practice Night is Monday 7.00 – 9.00pm

Brumdingers (youth practice) is Thursday 6.15 - 7.15pm.

​

St Peter's is a popular tower and cater for ringers at all levels. Practice nights will usually include ringing from Rounds and Call-Changes to Surprise Major and every station in between.

We are affliated to the St Martin’s Guild of Church Bell Ringers and follow the ART (association of ringing teachers) teaching program. We have good relationships with several other local towers and are also a very friendly and sociable tower.

Tamsin Lane is the Tower captain and 

Christine Barnell the deputy.

​

The sound of the bells can be reduced for training, by closing shutters reducing the disturbance to our neighbours.

We ring for weddings, community and National events, and any other special occasions. We are happy to ring Quarter peals to commemorate any event for a donation.

Between 2014-2019 we rang a total of 110 Quarter peals in memory of those servicemen who gave their lives during the First World War. More recently we rang for both Queen Elizabeth's platinum jubilee and her funeral. We are now helping recruit ringers to "Ring for the King" at the coronation in May 2023.
