York Minster Begins Its Search For A New Team Of Bell Ringers

York Minster’s plan to ring the changes has begun in earnest.

The Dean and Chapter of the cathedral prompted headlines around the world when it sacked its entire team of volunteer bell ringers last October.

Now the Minster is advertising for someone to put together a replacement band of ringers.
