Alphabetic list of churches with bells hung for full-circle ringing in the Association’s area.  Updated 6th July 2010.

The towers are listed as "PLACE NAME ,  current administrative county". The former administrative counties of Gwent and Mid, West and South Glamorgan, ceased to exist legally on 1st April 1996; the Association therefore uses the current administrative County names on this website and in its Annual Reports.

---

Tower Recordings:
  indicates those towers for which a short 25-30sec MP3 file of the bells is available.

Please note:
1. Each recording  is of the current installation unless otherwise noted.
2. Most of the recordings are taken from those which appeared on the Association's cassette tape made for the Centenary in 1993.  
3.  The recording of Cardiff (St John's) is taken from 78rpm vinyl record which is thought to date from about 1952.
4. The recording of Michaelston-y-Fedw was made outdoors and there is some background (ambient!) wind-noise.
5. The recording of Radyr dates from 2006.
6. The recording of Llangybi supplied by Andrew Bull.
7. The recording of Llandaff's 12 bells was made by Nevil James on 1st November 2008 during a peal of Yorkshire S Maximus being rung to celebrate his and Jill's Golden Wedding Anniversary.
