WELCOME! The area covered by the Barnsley & District Society of Change Ringers is the area within a 12 mile radius of
St Mary's parish church, Barnsley.
 
The object of the Society is the cultivation of the art of change ringing and the promotion of good fellowship among ringers.
 
Closed lead minor ringing (cartwheel) is encouraged and promoted by the Society but not to the exclusion  of other forms of ringing.

The Swaine Cup Contest held 10th September 2011 at Hoylandswaine. Congratulations to the winning band Kirkheaton.
