The Bells of Euston, Suffolk

The ring of six bells at St Genevieve's church in Euston, Suffolk, are formed of four 1701 Henry Pleasant bells, a 1730 Thomas Gardiner bell for the fifth, and a 1983 treble cast by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, at the time of the rehanging and their augmentation to six, during which time they were hung in a two tier frame, with the 3rd and 5th on the top. The last work to be undertaken prior to this was in 1909 by George Day & Sons. The tenor weighs 8-1-21cwt and is tuned to 'Ab'.
The parish church in Euston Park is dedicated to Saint Genevieve. The foundation stone was laid by the Duchess of Grafton in 1676; it is the only church in Suffolk to have been built in the 17th century, and is on the site of an earlier medieval building. It has a four-stage tower and round headed windows in a style called "Venetian tracery". The interior is noted for the original wooden box pews, screen and pulpit. Some medieval brasses survive, as well as fine monuments to the Dukes of Grafton buried in the church and the adjacent churchyard. The church is a Grade I Listed building. It is open to the public in the summer months, but regular traditional Sunday services are held throughout the year. The Parish of Euston is part of the Blackbourne Team Ministry.

It’s a nice ring although the sallys are quite thick

Not as far as I am aware, sadly. The church is located at the corner of the field, at the edge of an estate. It's a 10 minute walk across the field to get to the church.
