From February 2023 to June 2024 I photographed the Bath Abbey Bell Ringers.
Bells have been rung at the Abbey for hundreds of years, stretching back to before the 16th century. There are ten bells in total in the Bell Tower and they continue to be rung regularly for services, weddings, & momentous occasions by a ‘band’ that is dedicated to carrying on the long tradition.
The key members of the ‘band’ featured in the photographs are; Mathew Butler the Tower Master, Will Beech the Ringing Master, Thomas Wareing, Maggie Willans, James Joynson, Andrew Manister, George Tomlin and Matthew Goodship.
