Church Bells on a Saturday
Christian Church is an ecclesiological term generally used by Protestants to refer to the whole group of people belonging to Christianity throughout the history of Christianity. In this understanding, Christian Church does not refer to a particular Christian denomination but to the body of all believers. Some Christian traditions, however, believe that the term Christian Church or Church applies only to a specific historic Christian body or institution (e.g., the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, or the Assyrian Church of the East). The Four Marks of the Church first expressed in the Nicene Creed are that the Church is One (a unified Body of Particular Churches in full communion of doctrines and faith with each other), Holy (a sanctified and deified Body), Catholic (Universal and containing the fullness of Truth in itself), and Apostolic (its hierarchy, doctrines, and faith can be traced back to the Apostles).[1]
Thus, the majority of Christians globally (particularly of the apostolic churches listed above, as well as some Anglo-Catholics) consider the Christian Church as a visible and institutional societas perfecta enlivened with supernatural grace, while Protestants generally understand the Church to be an invisible reality not identifiable with any specific earthly institution, denomination, or network of affiliated churches.[citation needed] Others equate the Church with particular groups that share certain essential elements of doctrine and practice, though divided on other points of doctrine and government (such as the branch theory as taught by some Anglicans)......
Church (congregation):
A church is a Christian religious organization or congregation or community that meets in a particular location. Many are formally organized, with constitutions and by-laws, maintain offices, are served by clergy or lay leaders, and, in nations where this is permissible, often seek non-profit corporate status.[1]
Local churches often relate with, affiliate with, or consider themselves to be constitutive parts of denominations, which are also called churches in many traditions. Depending on the tradition, these organizations may connect local churches to larger church traditions, ordain and defrock clergy, define terms of membership and exercise church discipline, and have organizations for cooperative ministry such as educational institutions and missionary societies. Non-denominational churches are not part of denominations, but may consider themselves part of larger church movements without institutional expression.

Cowling Holy Trinity Church Clock Mechanism strikes 12 o'clock
I was fortunate enough to get inside of Holy Trinity Church in Cowling, North Yorkshire, but what I was even more fortunate, is the towers allowed up in the clock chamber to see the clock mechanism striking midday! This clock according to the inscription was built by Joyce of Whitchurch, Shropshire, and has Westminster Chimes, as you see it striking the Westminster Chimes before the hour strike. The church was built in 1845 by R D Chantrell, famous for rebuilding Leeds Minster. There are four bells in the tower for the Westminster Chimes, and the fourth bell is used for the hour as well. I extend my thanks to the two men working in the church and for letting me up the tower. It is also worth noting that Cowling was the birthplace of the first ever Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Snowdon.
Big Ben chimes 12 for the last time in 4 years
Batley Parish Church Saturday 12th Of Jan 2013 by Roy West
Greater Manchester Police never took into consideration, that I could not have been in two places at the same time. surprisingly all these so called incidents of harassment were taking place when I was somewhere else, but this did not matter to GMP because they were acting politically to have me constantly arrested and taken away from my family.
Bellringing at St Mary the Virgin, Badsworth, West Yorkshire.
Originally a ring of 4 bells, augmented in 2002 to a ring of 6. A fairly old fashioned ring of 6 bells, hard going and not very musical.

Market Harborough Church Bells and a Bit of Bird Song Too
I got confused because they usually ring on a Monday. It's actually a Thursday... Ooops. Also the Church that is mostly in this video isn't the church where the ringing comes from. Either way it sounds lovely.
Batley Parish Church West Yorkshire 2014 by Roy West
The Parish Church of All Saints has a very long history.The first mention of a church on this site was in 1086 when it was described in the Domesday Book, though it is almost certain that a church existed on the site before this date. This means that in all probability it is both the oldest building and church in the town of Batley. The population of Batley at this time was around 30 to 40 people. In the Domesday Book it is stated that there was a church, a priest and two acres of meadow. The Coucher Book of Nostell Priory noted that the townships of Morley, Churwell and Gildersome were in the parish of Batley.
In the 13th century the rectory at Batley was ordained a perpetual vicarage and in 1334 the south chantry chapel was founded by Adam de Oxenhope de Copley. 150 years later the present building was erected in a Gothic perpendicular style.
The building appears to have been without an organ until1830 when one was installed in the south chantry chapel. This was replaced by another instrument in 1943 positioned in the south aisle and the present organ was installed in 1965. The current vestry was added at this time.
There was a restoration of the church in 1873, with the old family boxes being replaced by the present pews. Shortly after this a vestry was built and in 1923 two bells were added to the existing six. The oldest of these bells dates back to 1658.
