Hutton, All Saints

There are 5 bells at Hutton. These bells are fairly tricky with a 35ft (ish) unguided draught. They are made worse by the fact that the ropes fall between the pews at the back of the church! The photo gives an idea of what we have to put up with. The Treble, 2nd + 3rd are the ropes on the left (straight line) and the 4th is in the centre, and the Tenor on the right hand side of the tower.

Treble Eb 3-3-3 Second Db 3-3-3 Third C 5-0-14 Fourth Bb 6-1-24 Tenor Ab 6-1-10

Practice Nights are on Tuesdays at 7:45 - 9:00. Sunday ringing is 10:30 - 11:10.

If you wish to ring here or confirm a practice time, Please contact the Tower captain, Renee Page-Jones on (01277)218531

There is a small band of about 6 local ringers, but practice nights can have up to 10 or even 15 people. Hutton is locally known for having non stop ringing during the evening, which is why they get a good attendance.

Methods rung are. Rounds + Call Changes, Plain Bob, Grandsire, All Saints, Reverse Canterbury, St. Simons Group. If the right combination of ringers turn up Stedman can be rung.

The Hutton ringers have an annual coach outing, where ringers from all over Brentwood (and further afield). Past outings have been to Hamphire, Leicestershire (Loughborough Bell Foundry), Wiltshire, Kent, North Essex. Last Year they visited Northern Hampshire, and ringing at the following towers: Kingsclere, Laverstoke, Overton, the recently augmented 8 at Hurstbourne Priors ,Longparish and Barton Stacey. This years venue is yet to be decided.

We also try to have a car outing each year. This year I oranised it, and we went to Linton (Cambs), Hadstock (Essex), Haverhill (Suff), Great Yeldham, Belchamp St. Paul, and Castle Hedingham (Essex). It had a good turnout with about 20 ringers there. Thankyou to Trevor + Nina Smith (Halstead), and Jean Lewis (Great Yeldham) who rang throughout the day with us and to Andy Bimson for driving the Minibus!
