"LINCOLN - BIRTHPLACE OF THE TANK"

Specially arranged and rung to celebrate the official unveiling earlier this morning of the new Tank Memorial within the City on Tritton Road, close to the site where the first tank was built, and to mark the centenary of the first ever tank being built, which was built in Lincoln at the William Foster & Co Wellington Foundry which stood in this parish less than half a mile from this Church, within earshot of the bells.

Rung especially remembering Foster’s Managing Director Sir William Tritton, his Chief Draftsman William Rigby and Major Walter Wilson of the War Cabinet, the designers and manufacturers of the original tank.

Rung also to mark the 70th anniversary of VE Day and the erection today of the new Bomber Command Memorial Spire on top of Canwick Hill over looking the South Common and the City towards the Cathedral.

First peal of Doubles on the bells.

50th peal for the Guild: 4.
