On Sunday 11 November 2018, exactly 100 years after the Armistice, bells rang out in unison from churches and cathedrals in villages, towns and cities across the country.
Church bells across the UK remained restricted throughout the course of the war and only rang freely once the Armistice was declared. On that day in 1918, the ringing of church bells erupted spontaneously across the country as an outpouring of relief that 4 years of war had finally come to an end.
On Remembrance Sunday 2018,
Bolney honoured that moment by ringing Call Changes for 45 minutes.
A national campaign to recruit bell ringers, Ringing Remembers, commemorates the 1,400 ringers who lost their lives during the war and will help to keep this traditional British art alive in memory of those 1,400 – linking together the past, present and future.
