Cathedral Bells
In 1879, Mr J Gardner of Greaves left £1000 in his will for eight bells to be installed in the Cathedral tower. Two more bells were added at a later date, giving the Cathedral a peal of ten bells - a rarity for English Catholic churches. In 1993 the bells were re-hung.

The bells ring out the the glory of God; they call people to prayer; they also provide a link to those who live nearby but are unable to attend the church: the bells remind them of the prayers being offered at the Cathedral, and invite the sick and housebound to pray with the congregation.

The Cathedral frequently welcomes visiting bellringers. For more details, contact the Cathedral office.

Each bell is dedicated to a saint. Further details of the bells can be found here.
