Lest We Forget

Specially arranged and rung during Remembrance-tide with the bells half muffled to mark the Centenary of the Armistice. Rung remembering all those who were killed during the Great War 1914-1918, especially the 12 men & boys from this village who did not return.

We especially remember Private WILLIAM HENRY ROSSINGTON who was killed in action on 15th April 1918 aged 21. William was a ringer at this Church and a ringing member of this Guild.

We also particularly remember this year:

WILLIAM ROOK (21st Mar 1918),

EDWARD RAYNOR KEY (23rd Mar 1918),

ERNEST WRIGHTON GOSLING (12th Apr 1918),

ROBERT CARR (24th Aug 1918),

We Will Remember Them!

Their Name Liveth For Evermore

When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.

The treble of the six in this tower was given as a War Memorial in 1919 by the farmers of Blankney as a thanksoffering for Peace.

St Martin’s Doubles was specially chosen as the Armistice fell on St Martin’s Day.

The ringers of 2, 4, 5 & 6 are all members of the local band.

250th peal on the bells and in the tower.
