Rung on the light front six (5-2-17) in thanksgiving for the lives of two local ringers; Jim Wharton (RIP 6/10/25, age 84) a long-serving band member and friend, who learned to ring at this tower over sixty years ago and Ashley B. Wilson (RIP 13/10/25, age 39), a dear friend and great supporter of ringing at this Church and the St. Anne’s Ringing School.

First Peal: 1,4,6

First Peal on the bells by a Sunday Service band.

This performance included two extents which are believed to have been rung for the first time (178h/x/u and 178h/x/w). If so, the band wish to name them “Wharton” and “Ashley B. Wilson” respectively.

Thank you to Jim Andrews for ringing and Ellis Hollows for conducting at short notice. Get well soon to Stuart Newton who had arranged and planned to call this peal.
