On Saturday 5 January, ringers from Wimborne Minster, Hampreston, Blandford, Preston (Weymouth) and Westbury met at Exeter Cathedral, to attempt a quarter peal on the second heaviest ring of bells in the world.
Stedman Cinques was the principle; the band managed to navigate through the 1287 changes and finish in rounds after only 57 minutes – a brisk performance for such a heavy ring of bells.
Band in ringing order (clockwise starting front right): Trish Hitchins, Hilary Child, Lucy Warwick, Ben Duke, Flick Warwick, Philip Rioch, Jack Pease, Rob Child, David Warwick (C), Harry Blamire, Nigel Woodruff, Chris Jenkins.
