Bunbury bells recorded for the ITV drama Home Fires
Our bells were used as a soundtrack for episodes of the ITV drama series Home Fires that was filmed in Bunbury village and the surrounding area in 2014 and 2015. The sound engineer attended one of our practice nights to record our regular band. You can listen below to the recording that was used in that episode.
Tower Open Day
On Ascension Day 2016 the church tower was opened for visitors to climb up to see the bells, and then ascend to the roof to experience the magnificent views over the surrounding countryside. The weather on the day was perfect and over 30 visitors made the ascent.
