Peals
A peal is a single piece of ringing that lasts for approximately 3 hours and consists of over 5000 changes. St. Mary's has 4 peals per year with one every 3 months or so.

If you can ring and have an interest in ringing a peal at Ashford then do please get in touch with us and we will be happy to make arrangments.
