How many bells does a church have?

The vast majority of “rings” are in church towers in the Anglican church in England and can be three to sixteen bells, though six and eight-bell towers are the most common. They are tuned to the notes of a diatonic scale, and range from a few hundredweight (100 kg) up to a few tons (4,000 kg) in weight.

What are the rules for church bells?

As a general rule, bells should always be left in the ‘down’ position other than for ringing. This is accepted good practice and provides new ringers with practice in ‘ringing up’ and ‘ringing down’. It also reduces corrosion to the clapper bolt caused by moisture collecting in the bells.
