Bishop’s Stortford District

District membership at the end of 2025 was 125 ringers. It is our aim to visit each of the seventeen towers at least once per year. Our annual programme typically includes the Hayden Cup Six-Bell Striking Competition, the Richard Atkins Memorial call change competition, the Annual District Quiz, a Ring & Ramble,  a District Outing and a Carol Service, traditionally held jointly with the Eastern District. The District has a Bell Restoration Fund that awards grants for improving or maintaining rings of bells to churches within the District.
