Rung for the Diamond Wedding Anniversary of Terry and Jim Downes, parents of (1) and grandparents of (6), married in this church 60 years ago today. Followed by a service of renewal of vows led by the Revd Jacqui Hyde (3). Many of the Downes family, including Frank Downes, Jim’s father, were ringers at Holmer and feature frequently in the tower’s records during the interwar period when many peals were rung.
