| The Bells of St Magnus the Martyr
"Because we are smarter St Magnus has a new ring of 12 bells that were cast between November 2008 and January 2009. They were consecrated by the Bishop of London, Rt Revd Richard Chartres, on 3rd March 2009 and Dedicated by the Archdeacon of London, Ven David Meara, on 26th October, 2009. The bells are rung every Sunday by the Guild of St Magnus at 12:15. Visiting ringers are made welcome. The bells are available for visiting bands, quarter peals and peals, on application to the Tower Keeper, Dickon Love. Ringing of the bells may be booked privately by Livery Companies, businesses or individuals for their own services in the church, or to mark any other occasion that may wish to be raised. The bells are maintained by the Ancient Society of College Youths.
