To learn more about bell ringing in the county of Suffolk please go to the Suffolk Guild of Ringers website. [Also see the Rector's News Letter from April 2016.]

Both Lidgate and Ousden churches chime their bells which means the bells are struck by a hammer controlled via either a keyboard console or rope.

• St Peter's church, Ousden

The other churches of the benefice are listed below but Denston and Lidgate do not have a peal of bells for ringing.

• St Nicholas' church, Denston - not listed
• St Mary's church, Lidgate - not listed

• All Saints' church, Stansfield
• All Saints' church, Wickhambrook
