Wimborne Ringers in Dorset Life magazine
In this month’s Dorset Life magazine, read an in-depth article about the bells, ringers and how we play a part of Wimborne life. You can read a snippet of the article here or pay to read the rest of the December issue online.
Wimborne ringers on ‘Bells on Sunday’
For those of us involved in the ‘exercise’, appearing on Radio 4’s Bells on Sunday programme is the bellringing equivalent of winning Britain’s Got Talent. Well, almost…
A recording of Wimborne Minster bells ringing Cambridge Surprise Maximus appeared in the schedule for the programme – with the first airing at 5.43am on Sunday 7th February.
Those of us who are accustomed to hitting ‘snooze’ on a Sunday morning these days (in the absence of having to get up for Sunday morning service ringing) will be pleased to know the programme is available on iPlayer and the BBC Sounds app for some months to come. You can listen to the recording here.
The ringing is from a recording taken by Rob Child of a quarter peal by an all-local band for the installation of Revd. Andrew Rowland. The band was as follows: 1) Katie Child 2) Rosemary Duke 3) Hilary Child 4) Trish Hitchins 5)Flick Warwick 6) Keith Fleming 7) Alan Bentley 8) John Riley 9) Graham Duke 10) David Warwick 11) Rob Child 12) Harry Blamire (C). Full details of the quarter peal can be found here.
