Rung to the Glory of God prior to the service celebrating the 50th anniversary of Stanley Dakin's ordination as a Priest (preceded by 12 years in the Church Army). Stanley's life of service has borne abundant fruit in the lives of all who have been blessed to know him, and ringers will be interested to know that he was instrumental in ridding Meole Brace, Shropshire, of the "monstrosity" that was a scratchy recording of bells broadcast from a loudspeaker in the tower of Holy Trinity Church, and augmenting the 3 long-silent bells initially to 6 in 1969 and then to 8 in 1971.
1st as C with broken hip!
