Specially arranged in fond and affectionate memory of Dennis A (Den) Leslie (who died 3 January 2013), and rung on his beloved bells. Den learnt to ring here in 1952 and served this church faithfully as tower foreman, churchwarden, and churchyard keeper for over 60 years. Valia was the last person of many that Den taught to ring; he also rang in Ann and Jackie's first peal. Grandsire Doubles was amongst his favourites; he conducted four peals in the method, three on these bells.

First peal; 3

First of Grandsire Doubles for all the band, and first Doubles as conductor.
