Vicar defends ding-dong over church bell ringing

Available for over a year

A Leicestershire Vicar has defended her church's bells, after criticism online that they rung out too early on Sunday mornings. St John the Baptist Church in Hugglescote, Leicestershire, rings its bells from 09:30 until 10:00 every Sunday, and for other special occasions like weddings. However, a social media post said the bells were "disturbing people", generating hundreds of comments debating the issue. The Reverend Laura Jackson told BBC Leicester reporter Ben Mellor that they have already made changes for local people.
