Speaker: Mark Regan, Ringing Master at Worcester Cathedral

Between 1933 and 1961 there were three different rings of 12 in the tower. For 16 of these years the tower was bomb damaged and derelict. The second restoration in 1933, paid for Gordon Selfridge, became a public scandal.

Mark Regan is a member of the Worcester DAC. In the 1980s he led two restorations of the bells at Leighton Buzzard, the second one after a fire seriously damaged the church destroying the bells. Mark was a Churchwarden and the Steeplekeeper at St Mary le Bow, Cheaspide in the City of London. After a career in the media, the energy business and lecturing, Mark has just set up a home made preserves business.
