The Walsgrave Society Change Ringers (WSCR) are a group of friends and ringers that get together every Monday evening at a lovely ring of six, followed by a pint at the nearby pub. It’s an easy commute from Warwick and Coventry universities.
Walsgrave Society Change Ringers practice at Walsgrave on Sowe – see map below (Coventry District) on Mondays 19:30-21:00 then on to the The Red Lion next door (Ansty Rd, Coventry, West Midlands CV2 2EY Tel: 024 7661 2168). Service ringing is by arrangement.
Other towers to visit around Coventry are:
Sunday morning service timings are such that there can be a circuit of Walsgrave, grab coffee in church after 0930 service at Stoke before ringing there and then on to the Cathedral.
