We hope that you find this site to be useful and informative. If you have any comments or suggestions about the content, feel free to contact us. In common with many rural areas, there are more bells to be rung than there are ringers to ring them, but we do our best to ensure that any requests for help are dealt with. The East Coast of Lincolnshire is a popular tourist area, and if you have visited before, you will know that the County is not completely flat! We will give you a warm welcome whether you are on holiday, or are arranging an outing with your own band, and will be pleased to help you find a practice night to enjoy

He was a long standing Kirton member of the Eastern Branch.
On an extremely wet August day, approximately 25 ringers from all over Lincolnshire met at the beautiful church of St Helens in West Keal.
After ringing of various levels was accomplished, the ringers then set off on the 1½ mile walk to Old Bolingbroke where more ringing took place.
The return leg to St Helens was made in gentle rain.
