2007 Annual Report

During the year 2007, visitors from England came to ring and visit the Memorial Bell Tower. Visitors from the surrounding towns and local residents make frequent visits to the Tower. Many climb up to where the bells are housed and are quite amazed at the sight. They are anxious to try their hand at ringing and totally enjoy the experience.

On January 31, the Memorial Bell Tower Bell Ringers rang for the 325th anniversary of the Old Ship Church. On October 13, the Bell Tower Ringers were asked to ring and conduct a tour of the Bell Tower prior to the Hingham Cemetery Tour. It was a very successful event.

The bells are rung every year for Christmas in the Square attracting shoppers for a tour of the Tower.

Each year we make the necessary repairs to maintain the preservation of the tower for future generations.

We are very fortunate to have two new bell ringers joining our ringing group.

The Bell Tower Committee members would like to extend a welcome to all visitors and especially encourage potential ringers to the Tower. Having this bell tower in Hingham is an asset to the town. It would be very unfortunate if ringing had to stop because of the lack of ringers. We ring the bells on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Please join us on Tuesday evenings.
