JANUARY TO MAY 2019 UPDATE

Ringing on Easter Sunday

Our bells are now ringing regularly: ahead of services, by visiting ringers and to help train our ringers on Monday evenings. There was a full peal of bells rung on 6th March which took 2 hours 38 minutes for the 5,040 changes.

See https://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/view.php?id=1274541 for details. The only other full peal was rung in 1970.

As well as ringing out to welcome everyone to the Licensing of Rev Dr Louisa Pittman as Assistant Curate on 27th March, they rang again in a quarter peal after the service.

Our ringers are also joining others to ring ahead of se

rvices at other local churches, such as Garvestone and Reymerston. Some joined other local ringers for a ringers outing to visit and ring at 7 churches in Suffolk on Saturday, 11th May.

Having received the final refunds from the taxman on top of the final payment of our Heritage Lottery Fund grant, our committee met again in April to agree how the funds in hand could extend our restoration project. With the safety of our bell ringers and visitors to our bells in mind, repairs to the bell tower stairs and window sill are our priority. With the Wi-Fi issue resolved, the cameras installed in the bell tower are now in action.
