News from the Belfry
“ Visitors to our Bell Tower.
Message received from Andy Hallam
Tower Captain, Thurlby St Firmins
We are a group of friends and bell ringers, who live on the Lincolnshire / Cambridgeshire borders and regularly ring together for practices and services. There are many Churches and too few ringers and it is not uncommon for us to ring at 3 towers for services on Sunday mornings. We arrange a tower tour every year and this year there were 16 of us who rang at 5 towers in total, starting at Branston, Potterhanworth and Dunston, calling in at Ruskington as our 4th tower at 15:45.
David made us all very welcome and everyone enjoyed our time at All Saints, indeed one of the ringers commented that the tenor was the nicest that she had rung.
Having ‘annoyed’ the local parishioners for 45 minutes with our ringing, we departed for Heydour, our final tower of the day.
“Congratulations to Louise Boulton, who has passed her Grade 1 bell ringing ( Controlling the bell ) in such a short time.
