Colyton, St Andrew
The parish church of St Andrew, Colyton is an imposing building with its distinctive tower topped by an octagonal lantern tower
. The church is centrally located in this small Devon town and occupies a plot between Lower Church Street and Vicarage Street.
To get to the ringing room you enter through an outside wall and then follow a roundabout route up to the cruciform tower.

I visited for the first time on Tuesday 22nd May 2018 while on holiday and walking the South West Coast Path. There were only enough of use to ring the front 6. I rang some Rounds & Call Changes on bells #3, #4, #5, #6 and finished by ringing down bell #5. A big tower with some nice, easy to ring, bells.
The Bells
The tower has a ring of 8 bells with a tenor weighing 24-3-16 in D. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at St Andrew and more information is provided by the Guild of Devonshire Ringers.
