F.O.C.A.S. – Friends Of Crick And Shawell.
R.A.S.C.A.L. – Ringers At Shawell, Crick And Lilbourne.
We are a group of bell ringers who regularly meet at the many towers along the South Leicestershire and North-west Northamptonshire County border. Most, if not all, belong to their respective Leicester, Peterborough or Coventry Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers.
Our core ringing towers are at Shawell, Crick, Welford and Yelvertoft combined with further ringing at Leire, Misterton, Stanford on Avon, Husbands Bosworth, Gilmorton, Theddingworth, Lilbourne, Cold Ashby, Willoughby Waterleys and Hillmorton.
U.A.V.B.M.T. – Upper Avon Valley Bell Maintenance Team.
We inspect and maintain our selected network of bell installations through the volunteer efforts of our skilled maintenance team. Rope splicing is also included in our services to the ringing world. In recent years, as well as Shawell, the team have overhauled fixtures and fittings at Stanford on Avon, Misterton, Catthorpe and North Kilworth enabling continued integrity and viable ringing at these locations. During 2022 and 2023, Gilmorton, Kimcote, Leire, Lubenham, Peatling Parva, Swinford (chimes) and Willoughby Waterleys have been added to our list.
