Dedicated to the memories of Gwen and Frank Bloomfield who retired to Felixstowe in 2000 and supported the project for the new bells installed in 2003. Gwen died earlier this year (26th July 2025) at the age of 92. She retired from ringing in 2012 to look after Frank who died in 2017.
Frank retired from ringing on his 84th birthday in January 2012 after 70 years. His final peal was on 23rd Sept 2009 at Felixstowe which was the first peal on the new bells.
