Happy New Year 2025

We had nine ringers brave the midnight and ring in the New Year.
​Practice night as normal this coming Thursday.

Church issues

The recent winds bought down a large lime tree at St Giles which has now been cleared. Fortunately it came down only hours after our practice night and did very little damage to the churchyard missing the War Memorial by inches. Lea Marston church has also been closed as the roof walls around the tower have been declared unsafe and need immediate remedial repairs. There are no services and no ringing until this is put right.

Stedman Doubles quarter

The celebratory service for the induction of the Rev Mark Waterstreet to the parishes was celebrated with a quarter pea;l of Stedman Doubles before general ringing for the service. Over half the band were locally based.

Whitacre's Mini Ring

Bell inscriptions

Have 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.
