Please Note
As of August 2025, Ross on Wye bells are currently out of action as a recent architect and structural engineer’s inspection has revealed that three pinnacles are unsafe. The church is currently developing a plan to resolve the problem but in the meantime there will be no ringing for the foreseeable future.
