The Bells

Bells have rung in St. George’s Church Pontesbury for over 350 years.  The first record, in 1549, is of “three great bells and a Sanctus bell.” 

Five of the present ring of six bells were cast in 1681 by Thomas Roberts, a Shrewsbury bell founder.  They range in weight from 6cwt, to the tenor, the largest and heaviest at 13cwt, and are tuned to ring the notes C#, B, A#, G# and F#.  These five bells, known to the ringers as numbers 2 to 6, are the only surviving ring of bells cast by Thomas Roberts.
