Dilwyn, St Mary the Virgin
The Dilwyn Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin [1] is beside what looks like the old A4112 before the bypass was built. There is a lovely, well maintained churchyard.

I visited for the first time on Saturday 18th April 2009 for a practical session during the Hereford Ringing Course. The ringing room is reached by climbing a steep stair/ladder from inside the tower. Only 6 bells again but nice to ring. I was here to practice Bob Minor and while the bells seemed a nice ring I was tired and did not get as much as enjoyment ringing them as I might have done.
The Bells
The tower has a ring of 6 bells with a tenor weighing 11-0-13 in G. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at St Mary.
The Hereford Diocesan Guild of bellringers also have information on the Dilwyn Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin. No information on the bells history or inscriptions was to be found.
