Welcome to the website of the Mid Cheshire branch of the Chester Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers (CDGCBR). There are 19 towers in the Mid Cheshire Branch. They encompass an area as far North as Warbuton, as far South as Little Budworth, as far East as Over Peover [Peover Superior], and as far West Thornton le Moors.
Please narrow the scope of coverage to Mid Branch.

The next event on the Mid Branch calendar is the session at Stretton (poster here or click on the image of the poster above). The posters for the February events at Great Budworth are equally available by clicking on the posters (or here for the 5th of February or here for the 14th of February).
Every month, young ringers from across Cheshire and North Staffs meet to ring together. We meet on the third Sunday of the month and visit different towers across the region.
In 2025, we rang as far south as Stafford and Haughton, and as far north-west as Neston in the Wirral. We rang in between, including at Nantwich, Madeley, Waverton and Stoke Minster. We enjoyed ringing on the little bells at Woodlands, on the anticlockwise ring at Seighford, and on twelve at Stafford, Newcastle and Chester Cathedral.
We also entered a team into the RWNYC 2025.
We welcome all bell ringers aged under-30, under-18 and under-11. Whether you can conduct spliced, or just about handle a bell, or any standard in between, you will be most welcome.
Please see the NSACR website (https://nsacr.org.uk) for the most up-to-date information, and to find out where we’re ringing this month. If you are under-18 and coming for the first time, you will need to bring a consent form filled out by your parent/guardian for safeguarding. You can find that consent form here.
We look forward to ringing with you!
