The Annual Culfrey Ringing.

Rung on the back three (the original three) on Michaelmas Day to mark the start of the ringing of the Culfrey Bell (the tenor) each evening at 7pm between Michaelmas Day & Lady Day, a local tradition dating back to the seventeenth century to help guide lost travellers off the heath to the safety of the village.

The bells were rung up to 7pm, after which the Culfrey Bell (the tenor) was rung for 5 mins, followed by more ringing.

The Culfrey Trust still provide new bell ropes for the Culfrey Bell, upkeep the Church clock which took over the ringing of the bell, and provide two bungalows for elder parishioners called the Culfrey Bungalows on the site of the old Culfrey Cottages.
