This is a collection of information from various sources that is being copied into a single database.
It is intended as a resource for ringers wanting to
research their local bells and ringers and also to be a record of ringing
performances in North Bucks.
All the information in the archives has already been
published in Annual reports, The Ringing World and other sources. The archives
just bring it all together.
The History of ringing in the North Bucks Branch starts many years before the formation of the branch in 1904 and continues up to the present day.

For example, the Little Horwood restoration project has generated local interest and brought in expertise from various sources: |

Successful Liberal meeting at Buckingham
He held an open-air meeting at Leckhampstead near the Parish Church. The clergyman was asked not to have the bells rung, but he replied that he objected to Liberal meetings altogether (laughter).
