The Central Council is often asked by the Media and others for images of bells, bellringing, churches and so on for news articles, magazines and websites. Through competition entries we have the following categories of photographs of contemporary images covering a range of scenes and scenarios. The images are available for anyone to access and use by clicking on the photo and using the Download button. The Central Council will not profit from the use of submitted images.
