Specially arranged and rung in memory of Frederick ‘ Fred’ Pembleton, bell hanger from Glapwell, marking the first anniversary of his passing (4th Sept 2017).
Fred was tower captain at this Church and was responsible for the rehanging of the bells in the mid 1970s which led to him setting up his own bell hanging business from his home in Glapwell. Ault Hucknall was his leading peal tower with a total of 44.
The ringers of 2, 5, 6 & 7 rang in peals with Fred, with Derek ringing 107 peals with him.
Fred’s funeral took place at this Church last year (29th Sept 2017) when all but 3 & 4 rang in the memorial quarter following his funeral. The band wish to associate Peter Hayward & Brynley Richards with this peal, being the other two ringers who rang in Fred’s funeral quarter.
First peal in the method for all the band.
