The Ropes

The Bell Ropes at North Marston are very different to ones at other towers,

we have ropes with a Purple/ Wine/ Gold Sally which is different to other ropes round the area which have Red/ White/ Blue or Green/ Red/ Gold

Up the Tower

This door is locked... but we have the keys.  This is so people don't get up the tower to get to the Bells, especially when they are "rung-up" and for various other safety reasons and people should only go up with experienced ringers and NEVER alone.
