The Annual Culfrey Quarter Peal.
Rung on the back three (the original three) on Michaelmas Day to mark the start 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 heath to the safety of the village.
This quarter was rung starting at 7.06pm following the Culfrey Bell (the tenor) being rung at 7pm.
Circled the tower (and as conductor) 51 times to quarter peals, since the bells were rehung and augmented in Sept 2004: 1.
(No. 442) (Rung also for the Lincoln Diocesan Guild)
