Ripon Cathedral welcomes its youngest qualified bell ringer
A teenager has become the youngest bell ringer at a North Yorkshire cathedral after gaining her qualification.
Alice Barrett, 13, started lessons before the pandemic after she became intrigued when her mum signed up as a bell ringer at Ripon Cathedral.
Resuming her lessons at the cathedral in October 2021, she has now been elected a member of the Yorkshire Association of Change Ringers.
Gaining an official qualification made her feel "accomplished", Alice said.
