Chalice Well Bell sounding for a Silent Minute’s reflection

Chalice Well, Somerset

At noon and 3pm a bell in rung in the Chalice Well Gardens, Glastonbury  to invoke a minute’s silence for reflection. A wren breaks the silence, and the bell is sounded again at the end of the minute.

The bell was the old school bell, the school buildings were cleared in the 1970s which opened up the bottom of the gardens a lot.

The ritual of the Silent Minute was instigated in WW2 by Wellesley Tudor Pole, who was a key figure in the founding of the Chalice Well Trust.
