The Coningsby & Friends New Year Quarter Peal Day Out in the Eastern Branch.
Marking the 650th anniversary year of King Henry IV being born at Old Bolingbroke Castle.
First quarter standing ontop of a cupboard: 5.
Unfortunately the fifth rope broke in the pulley during the first 120 and due to time constraints we were unable to splice it back together so we pulled the rope up and tied it together between the garter hole a wheel spokes, however this meant the rope was seriously short and the only way it could be reached was for the conductor to stand on a box ontop of a large cupboard, about 3 ½ foot up, and even then he could only just reach the bottom of the sally.

To Welcome 2017.
The Coningsby & Friends New Year Quarter Peal Day Out in the Eastern Branch.
Remembering John R Ketteringham who was very proud to see these bells rehung and made ringable again in 2008.
These bells cast in 1825 would no doubt have been heard by the young Alfred Tennyson (later to be Poet Laureate) when he was born & brought up at nearby Somersby Rectory between 1809 & 1837, and may have inspired him when he wrote ‘In Memoriam – Ring Out Wild Bells’
‘Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true.’
Most quarters (3) rung on a single day for: 6, Well Done Luke!
Most quarters (2) rung on a single day for: 1, Well Done Anne!

Specially arranged and rung with the bells half muffled in affectionate memory of Joe Craggs, on the morning of his funeral, who sadly passed away on 18th December 2016 aged 84.

This quarter was being rung whilst Joe's family were gathering at the family home not far from the church within ear shot of the bells prior to the funeral. Joe loved hearing the bells and was born and lived in Branston all his life. A true kind hearted gentleman who would help anyone, nothing was too much trouble. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him! Rest in peace dear friend.

The ringers of 1, 4, 5 & 6 were all taught to ring here at Wragby by Jim.
The father of 2 was Tower Captain here at Wragby immediately prior to Jim.
The band wish to associate Colin Ward & Tony Barker with this peal. Jim left instructions for the seven methods that he wished us to ring in the peal today (No Doubles!) along with the band he would have liked to have rung the peal, being the four ringers he taught (1,4,5,6) and Colin & Tony who both have strong connections to ringing at Wragby and to Jim. Unfortunately both Colin & Tony were unable to ring in the peal today.
‘Well done thou good and faithful servant’
Rest in Peace dear friend and mentor.

The battle (a major landmark in English history) was the turning point in the First Barons’ War and led to Prince Louis returning to France for good having signed the Treaty of Lambeth in September 1217!
Remembering the formidable lady constable Nicholaa de la Haye Castellan of Lincoln Castle. She directed the defence of Lincoln against the rebel Barons & Louis’ French forces in 1217 during the Battle of Lincoln Fair and made sure the Castle did not fall, holding out until Royalist William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke arrived with reinforcements.
Rung during the City’s Battle of Lincoln Celebrations immediately prior to the Medieval Procession of shields & flags and the parade of Knights (re-enactors) up the High Street from the Stonebow (the City’s southern gateway) up Steep Hill (the route Louis forces took) to Castle Square (where the original battle took place) for the re-enactment of the Battle.
