Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Rochester Cathedral has a ring of 10 bells that were cast in 1921. To ensure their future there are essential works that need to be carried out. We would like to combine this with adding extra bells to mark the Platinum Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
This would give Rochester Cathedral the first ring of 12 bells in North Kent and better allow us to continue our work as a teaching tower encouraging young and old from all backgrounds to come and learn to ring. It will also encourage visiting ringers as the appeal of a ring of 12 is irresistible!
There are lots of ways to contribute from a small donation here to sponsoring a bell - we will be buying three new ones! Our overall target is around £100,000 and we would have liked to have rung the new bells for the first time in 2021 to celebrate the centenary of the casting of the current ring hence the logo. Unfortunately the pandemic has prevented us from doing that so we are relaunching as the Jubilee Appeal.
Please find it in your heart to help us to maintain a long tradition of ringing in Rochester and to make the Cathedral bells a sound to be enjoyed for many years to come.
Thank you
The Rochester Cathedral Company of Bell Ringers
