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!
