Region: Durham & Newcastle Diocesan Association Church Bellringers

Durham & Newcastle Diocesan Association Church Bellringers was founded in 1877 as the Durham Diocesan Association to preserve and develop the art of “full circle” bell ringing across the parishes of Northumberland and Durham, at the time these were all in the Durham Diocese. In 1882 following the creation of the Newcastle Diocese by splitting the Durham Diocese in two the “& Newcastle” was added to the Association name.
