6 Christopher C P Woodcock (C)

Rung to mark the 50th anniversary of the first peal (Plain Bob Minor rung on 24th October 1959 for the L.D.G.) on the six bells after they were augmented from five to six with the addition of the newly cast treble in 1959. The band wish to associate local ringer Dennis Sutton with this peal (Dennis rang the second in the original peal in 1959).

Rung also in memory of Robert Sutton (Tower Captain at this Church) who sadly passed away on 26th June 2007. Robert called the conductors first peal in 2002 at Blankney and taught the treble ringer to ring here at Waddington.

First Peal at first attempt for 1. Well Done Jean, Robert would have been proud!

(Jean has only ever rung Quarters of Minimus & Doubles before, she rang her first Quarter in May 2008 and has only rung ten Quarters so far)
