It was from 1363 that St Mary achieved its prominence, as its bells declared the evening curfew, ringing every night at 9pm to signal the end of the working day, and to notify other churches to ring out their curfew bells.
When did the Bow bells stop ringing?
The Bells of St. Mary-le-Bow did not ring for 21 years (1940-1961). They were damaged in 1941 when they came crashing to the ground. In 1956, the Lord Mayor of London launched an appeal to raise money to repair and restore the bells to the church.
What times do bells ring?
The primary purpose of ringing church bells in modern times is to signify the time for worshippers to gather for a church service. Many Anglican, Catholic and Lutheran churches also ring their bell tower bells three times a day (at 6 a.m., noon and 6 p.m.), summoning the faithful to recite the Lord's Prayer.
