Today the bells of this Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas were rung as part of “Ringing to Remember” the Durham & Newcastle Association of Church Bellringers First World War Ringing Commemoration.

On this day one hundred years ago a bellringer from St. Aidan’s Church at Bamburgh was killed. We ring to celebrate his life and the ultimate sacrifice that he made.

Private Phillip Hall

Born in Bamburgh, Phillip was the son of Robert and Elizabeth Hall. He moved to Western Australia and enlisted there on 13th. October 1914. He was part of the 16th. Battalion, Australian Infantry, A.I.F.

Phillip is buried in Alexandria ( Chatby ) Military and War Memorial Cemetery Grave L.180. His name is recorded above on the ringers plaque in this Cathedral.

Phillip Hall we have remembered you
