Rung by a Central Branch band to celebrate the
90th Birthday of local ringer & Central Branch member
Ron Applewhite (26th Jan).
Ron learnt to ring here on these bells during the 1930’s and has been a loyal member of the local towers in this area ever since. He is now the oldest living member of the Lincoln Diocesan Guild and is still ringing regularly at Potterhanworth, Nocton & Branston.
First blows in the method:

which the band wish to provisionally name
Applewhite Treble Place Major
(It is intended that a peal in this method will be
rung here later in the year to officially name it)
