Bell ringers are being recruited across the country to 'Ring for the King' at the start of the Coronation weekend. The church in Staunton Harold, has the only ringing peal of bells in a National Trust property. The oldest bell is from 1669 and the bells themselves aren't in great condition and are therefore hard to ring. Bell ringers from all over the country headed to Staunton Harold for the occasion, where Sara Palmer met them.
