Festive Period Ringing Report

Once again a busy Christmas period. We managed to ring at Over Whitacre, Lea Marston, Shustoke and Whitacre services and a group gathered to ring in the New Year welcoming 2019 at St Giles. It was the first such event for our youngest ringer and a poignant time for one of our older friends has who has given up ringing this year. Our best wishes to you all for 2019.

It is a pleasure to now see our newer learners supporting other even newer learners in mastering rounds. 

Bell inscriptions

Have recently found some wax rubbings of the inscriptions taken of the bells before they were installed in 1977. A much easier task then when access was a lot easier. These rubbings were used as part of the advertising display used to raise money to complete the installation. They show the decorative part of the bells including some names and a image of a King George 1 two guinea gold piece which shows up especially clearly on the second bell. Find out more on the bell detail page.
