Barnsley, St Mary
The parish Church of St Mary, Barnsley, is on the south-east side of the B4425 that runs through this small Cotswold village. There is limited roadside parking on the B4425.
The tower is at the West end of this bright and airy little church. Ringing is from the ground floor.

I visited for the first time on Saturday 18th September 2010 as the first tower [2nd] on the W&DCRA Southern Branch tour.
I started by ringing up bell #4 followed by a touch of Plain Bob Minor. Later I rang a touch on Grandsire Doubles on bell #3. These are really light bells but they were easier to ring than I had feared they might be.
The Bells
The tower has a ring of 6 bells with a tenor weighing 4-2-25 in C. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at St Mary and more information is provided by the Gloucester & Bristol Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers.
