The Bell Tower

You and your camera will have a rare opportunity to photograph the unique textures of the tower, the culture of bellringing, and to see the biggest bell in Australia: the historic ANZAC bell in full swing.

Alongside the ANZAC bell, The Bell tower is home to 18 lovely Swan bells that date back the 14^th century! Talk about preservation.

You’ll also have time to chat with bell ringers, learning of the histories of ANZAC, London bells and full circle ringing.
