| AdminHistory | The Guild was originally founded in 1907 as the Warwickshire Guild of Church Bell Ringers. The Guild was renamed to the present title in April 1945, despite the Diocese having been formed in 1918. The sphere of activities of the Guild originally covered the ancient County of Warwickshire including those now part of West Midlands. However it is now restricted to the Diocesan boundaries. |
