We’re pleased to report that, after a long hiatus, we have now been allowed to return to the tower for Sunday morning service ringing. Public Health England and the Central Council have worked together to publish guidelines for safe conduct and responsible ringing. We are currently ringing 8 of the 12 bells in a safe formation to allow for social distancing (1,2,3,5,7,8,10,12) – so it may sound a little unusual until the guidelines are relaxed!
On Sunday 13th July, 8 ringers, armed with hand sanitiser (!) opened the first service in the Minster since March. 1.Katie Child, 2. Rob Child, 3. Hilary Child, 5. Max Knight, 7.Flick Warwick, 8. David Warwick, 10. David Coates, 12. Harry Blamire
We rang some very pleasant call changes for 15 minutes before ringing the 8th and Tenor down again for safety until next Sunday. The ringing was welcomed by the locals with Facebook posts and direct messages.
