John had a prolific ringing career, ringing 3015 peals, of which no fewer than 1669 were at Meldreth, where he was instrumental in the augmentation to eight in 1968, hanging the two new trebles himself. Funeral arrangements to follow when known.
A Service of Thanksgiving will be held on Tuesday 25 July 2017 at 2:30pm at Holy Trinity Church, Meldreth. All welcome.

If you wish to have a group of quarter peals printed together,
for example those rung for a district quarter peal week, please
create an event for it, enable
Linked performances
and then selectCollate performances in The Ringing World
. Please ensure that all performances get associated with this event before (or at least shortly after) the performance submitter sends them for print so they can be caught and collated. This can be done either by the person who submitted the performance, or by the owner of the event; for performances imported from Campanophile, only the latter is possible. - 24th Jan: We now have an RSS feed of news bulletins from the front page of BellBoard.
- 25th Oct 2015: Users who subscribe to The Ringing World may now see this week's issue in PDF format linked prominently from the front page of BellBoard. If you are a subscriber and do not see it when logged in, this is probably because we were unable to link your BellBoard account to your subscription automatically. Contact us and we will link them manually. We also have a library of back issues allowing users to access any issues from your period of subscription. These currently go back to 2011, but we hope to continue that to 2001; they will remain available indefinitely.
- 6th Aug: A new page shows the days of the year on which you've rung peals or other performances.
- 4th Jul: It is now possible to download a PDF version of any performance by clicking on the PDF icon in the updated navigation menu above the performance. Many of the old options on that menu have been relegated to a new edit menu marked with a pencil icon. The left and right arrows (or the arrow keys on the keyboard) navigate to the previous and next performances, and the new up arrow returns you to the list. We would be interested in opinions on this new style of menu, especially regarding their usability on phones and tablets.
- 2nd Jul:
BellBoard now tracks the donations
you've made, and allows UK tax payers to fill in a
Gift Aid declaration allowing
The Ringing World to claim 25p from HMRC for every £1.00
donated. This is all linked from the new-look
account page, formerly the
user preferences
page. - Older features …
