HODs – Clock Tower Tours and Bell Ringing Experience

This is an unusual clock tower as it is not part of a church. The bells ring to celebrate civic events such as the annual Mayormaking.

Open Sat 18th Sept from 10.00-12.00, and also 14:00-15:30

Built in the early 1600s and containing the oldest original peal of civic bells in Britain, the Clock Tower is one of Morpeth’s landmarks. There will be short tours of the Clock Tower and an opportunity to ring the bells.

Booking: need to book 30 mins tour in advance: contact Val Cowan, by mobile 07887 594161, or by email secretary@morpethbellringers.org.uk  (max 6 people per tour)

Access: There are steep steps at the entrance, and further flights of steep steps up to the ringing chamber. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
