This gave ringers control of their bell, allowing sets of bells (rings) to be rung in continuously changing patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Music is created by altering the order in which the bells sound. This is done in defined sequences of changes called methods. Learning a few simple methods allows ringers to join in with other bands in towers around the world.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">External Learning to Ring Resources<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Select one of the following external links:<br \/>\n<a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-service-ringingtimes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bellringing.org\/\"><span class='mb-text'>Discover Bellringing<\/span><\/a> <a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-service-ringingtimes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.handbellringing.co.uk\/\"><span class='mb-text'>Learning to ring handbells<\/span><\/a> <a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-service-ringingtimes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ringbell.co.uk\/methods\/umd.htm\"><span class='mb-text'>Learn Method Diagrams<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bell Ringing &#8211; The Ultimate Team Activity<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet-1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet-1-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet-1-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet-1-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet-1-1024x724.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet-2-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet-2-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet-2-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leaflet-2-1024x724.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_243\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"243\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/wellsbells.org.uk\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Various bellringing videos Here is a list of ringing resources associated with ringing: http:\/\/www.bellringing.org Read some Bellringing quotes from the ringers of St Mary the Virgin, Eccleston, Lancashire: Could I become a ringer? \u201cIf you can ride a bicycle you can ring!\u201d Ringing is well within the capabilities of most people.
