To make the link color default for the entire page, you need to
set the style like so:
a {
      color: #f00;
}
This style goes in the main style sheet or at the head section of the page.

I either put it in my default style sheet or in the header of all my 2000
pages?

If you are using just one
style sheet for all your 2000 pages then you only need to change
that one style sheet. Â Just one change and in 2 seconds all your
2000 pages will have the default color for links. Â It's as simple
as that.
Style sheets have a purpose in Web Development but if you started your site way back in the 90s and never bothered to improve on new technologies then you are in a for a very big shock.
In short, always use a style sheet (or style sheets and use @import to link them to one main style sheet) and link the one main style sheet to all your pages and so you need to make changes in one place only. NOT on all 2000 pages.
Good luck.

But since you are here in this seldom visited group: I have basically two
sites, my own and the bellringers site which I host in its own folder (and
own stylesheets and domain) Should I use a Subsite for that or leave it
alone?
You should be aware that I don't know the details of the ringers domain as
someone else deals with that and pays for it so all the editing is done
via my site/host.

You can use a sub-domain for the other site.  Are these sites all
static? By static I mean they only use HTML/CSS and Javascript.
If the answer is yes then there are better options to host multiple sub-doamins FREE OF Charge on Google, Azure, Netlify or Github. Let me know if you want to do this including free security certifictae.
By subdomain, I mean soimething like: "https://something.yourdomain.com"
You can use the same host to create subdomains using the folder for it but I prefer to use some other hosts that are free and reliable. Google, Microsoft, Github and Netlify are the most relaible hosts around. There is also another one called: fast.io and they are also quite relaible and you can use a subdomain of your own to host a site. In this the files are uploaded to your onedrive or Google Drive and these files are uploaded on to their servers pretty quickly.  All the changes are made to your files on google drive or Onedrive.

I'm not sure I understood any of that.
Take a look at my site www.jimscott.co.uk.
The bells site can obviously be access from the home page, but also from
www.christchurchringers.org.uk

You have created a link in Jimscott.co.uk to the
christchurchringers.co.uk. As far as I can see both are hosted by
different hosts. JimScott is hosted by: http://www.eukhost.com and
it has been there since: 05-Aug-2006. The Ringers is hosted at:
http://www.fasthosts.co.uk since 26-May-2003.
There isn't anything unusual about this. I suspect you are paying to these hosts about £30 per year for each of them. Not sure what additional service do you get apart from their email service. You have created a simple static website which only one is secured (JimScott) while the Ringers is not. You should ask your host to give you a free certificate to the Ringers website. These almost all hosts give you a free certificate because google has said they won't list any sites that are not secured!!  Google decides this, unfortunately!!
If email service isn't important then you can have both sites hosted for free on Google or Microsoft Azure or Github or Netlify. They give you free hosting but for custom email such as j...@jimscott.co.uk or j...@christchurchringers.org.uk then perhaps using your current hosts is the best value. I was fortunate to have custom emails with Microsoft and Google when they were free and now it remains free for life for me. I have many domains hosted on google and Azure and also Github and Netlify. I also had one on Amazon but now they are charginf for the service so I terminated the service.

I'm not too bothered about free hosting as eukhosting not only hosts my
jimscott site, but also my domain name/email.
Either I have been misinformed, or christchurchringers is only a domain
name hosted on fasthosts and simply points at the requisite page on my
site. and costs peanuts.
You did not get round to telling me (or I maissed it), whether to use the
index page of christchurchringers as a 'subsite' or leave it is as a folder
or it makes no difference in my case?
