Automatic Chiming Systems

Electro-Magnetic Chiming Hammers can be fitted to bells hung for chiming or change ringing, and these will not interfere with the normal manual chiming or ringing of the bells by hand. Once a system is fitted it can be pre-programmed for up to a whole year if required. Tunes, both secular and sacred can be programmed , together with single bells to mark the hours or angelus, or English change ringing if the tower has sufficient bells. Ask for a free quotation so that your bells can sound when no team of ringers is available.
