Specially arranged and rung in affectionate memory of Keith W Scudamore by members of the Wotton Branch.

Stinchcombe Bells were rehung for full circle ringing following a Consistory Court hearing in November 1969. The Incumbent and P.C.C. wanted to hang the bells "dead" and chimed electronically. The G&B wanted the bells hung for full circle ringing. The G&B Officers; E Mary Bliss, William F Scudamore (Keith's father) and Charles Rouse did everything possible to ensure the bells were hung and rung traditionally.

The Consistory Court's decision was that the should be rehung traditionally but with an electronic chiming apparatus too.

The bells were subsequently rehung for traditional ringing and much work was completed by volunteer labour which included Keith and his father.

On the evening of the re-dedication service, the electronic chiming apparatus was struck by lightning! It was very rarely used, usually only to demonstrate the apparatus to ringers. It disappeared when the current ringing floor was constructed in the 2010's.

Keith subsequently rang in the first peal on the bells on 30 November 1991:
