Welcome to the Wotton Branch Website.​

​The Wotton Branch covers the towns of Wotton-under-Edge, Berkeley, Chipping Sodbury, Dursley, and Yate and surrounding villages.  Our towers would very much welcome more people to ring our bells.  Contact details for each tower may be found below.

In addition to ringing for Sunday services, weddings and special occasions, we practice during the week and also have Branch practices at weekends.  See the lists below of when we practice.  Please join us. 

Also on our website you'll find lots of information about our bells and special events that we have rung for.

We are part of the Gloucester and Bristol Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers or the G and B, for short.
