The Annual Culfrey Quarter Peal.
Rung on the back three (the original three) on Lady Day to mark the end of the ringing of the Culfrey Bell (the tenor) each evening at 7pm between Michaelmas Day & Lady Day, a local tradition dating back to the seventeenth century to help guide lost travellers off the fens to the safety of the village.
Rung with the bells fully muffled for Lent.
This quarter was rung starting at 6.23pm and was followed by the Culfrey Bell (the tenor) being rung at 7pm.
(Rung also for the Lincoln Diocesan Guild)
