Remembrance 2019

Once again our bells were half muffled for the Remembrance Sunday events and some of our "ringing remembers" students from last year are still ringing with us. Find out more about muffling bells here.

Birthday Outing

The tower recently helped our tower captain celebrate a birthday with a proper traditional coach based ringing outing. This included a repeat of the last tower of the day from the very first Whitacre tower outing back in 1979. A few of us were there then too to repeat the experience on very different bells.

Whitacre's Mini Ring

Have you heard about the other ring of bells in Whitacre? Click this link to view the website to find out more about the second set of Whitacre bells especially if you are mini ring fanatic. 
Latest news is that this tower now has the newest ropes after new nylon ropes with sallies have been made up.

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.
