Easter Monday Peal

wimborneringers

A peal of 5009 Stedman Cinques was rung on Easter Monday by the Wimborne Minster Society of Church Bellringers. All the members taking part in the peal are regular Sunday service ringers at the Minster which demonstrates the current strength of the local band. The peal was enjoyed by those participating and, we hope by those listening outside. Bellboard records would indicate that three other peals of Stedman Cinques were rung on Easter Monday at St Paul’s Cathedral, Worcester Cathedral and Great St Mary’s Cambridge (10300 changes) so we were in illustrious company!
