Apart from all the other Easter customs in England, there's bell ringing. Traditionally, church bells aren't rung at all during holy week (the week before Easter). On Easter Sunday, though, the bellringers seem to want to make up for this.

When I was 17 (37 years ago), I was in Cambridge on Easter Sunday. The city centre has a church every 100 yards or so. At 12 noon, the whole lot erupted and I was left reeling with the physical shock of all that vibration. Believe me, the earth does move.


This year, as usual, the bell ringers in my village rang for Easter Sunday, though a little earlier than noon.
