An exhibition 'Bellringing in Cambridge' is running from Monday 16
September until Saturday 12 October in Michaelhouse cafe on Trinity St,
just a few doors down from Great St Mary's. The exhibition is free.
It celebrates the tercentenary of the Society of Cambridge Youths,
bellringers at Great St Mary's since 1724. It explains church bellringing
in general so is of interest to non-ringers too, but in particular it talks
about the Society's activities over the last 300 years. You will see a huge
variety of faces (some familiar!) and documents telling the story of the
ringers, including eminent townspeople and those proficient in the 'art',
how they developed not just their ringing but the lucrative business of
touting their skills in exchange for money. At one stage a ringer could
earn the equivalent of £6k a year! Also did you know that the bells were
not routinely rung for Sunday services until 1928? Visit the exhibition and
find out more!
