Britain's What's On Event Guide
Eckington Church: Bells and History
Heritage Open Day: Eckington Parish Church is one of the region's most ancient churches and a centre for bell-ringing. Explore both with guided church tours, morning visits to the bellringing chamber and a special handbell ringing performance in the afternoon. The Church of St Peter and St Paul is a Grade 1 listed building. First dedicated in 1100 AD, it is a mainly Norman building in the 12th and 13th Century Styles. It has an impressive square tower added in mid 12th Century and a spire in the 13th Century. The church stands in its own grounds and a burial area remains. The church has many features of great beauty and interest and we will be offering guided tours throughout the day.
