Our local ringers rang a quarter peal on Sunday 14 July to celebrate the ordination of our very own curate, Sarah Williams.

The ordination of priests service took place on Saturday 6th July, presided over by the Rt Revd Dr Martin Gainsborough, Bishop of Kingston, supported by Revd Joe Moffatt Team Rector of All Saints with Revd Vanessa Elston preaching.

Congratulations to our tower captain, Paul Flavell on his special peal today to mark the 50th anniversary of his first peal!

The band rang 5088 Bristol Surprise Major at St James the Great, Norton, Sheffield, South Yorkshire to mark the 50th anniversary of Paul Flavell’s first peal on 18th June 1970 – a celebration delayed by Covid!

Paul said “It went very well and was a trip down memory lane for me as I learned to ring at Norton (Sheffield) in the late 1960s and rang there till 1985. I shall enjoy my curry tonight!” Enjoy! And a couple of pints too!🍺
