Do you need a replacement bell rope? The LDG Rope Store is located in Twyford ringing chamber and is available to any LDG tower free of charge.

Do you have old ropes that still have a bit of life left in them that you could donate to the rope store? Please let us know so that we can keep the facility going.

We also have a team of volunteers who are happy to splice ropes if needed.

Please contact Peter Brown on melton@leicesterdg.org.uk for any rope store enquires.
