National Striking Contest - youth team winners

Picture
Xavier was a member of the "Three Spires" Lichfield Guild Youth ringing team attending the National Youth Ringing contest this year hosted by Birmingham. After achieving a bronze medal last year in London, the team topped the Advanced Call Change competition. They beat off 11 other teams to clinch the title. As their score of 9.5 out of 10 was so good they also won the Whitechapel Trophy for the best Call Change Band. Congratulations to the whole band who meet once a month and practice hard throughout the year at a variety of towers based around Lichfield and Walsall area.

Church issues

Lea Marston church has 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

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. 

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.
