On 6 May six visiting ringers from Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire joined us for our weekly practice. One of them, Fred, said he had rung a quarter peal in our tower some fifty years ago.
Our records showed the date to have been Saturday 28 July 1962 and it was then realised that the visit was recorded on a peal board hanging on our chamber wall. What a surprise for Fred and us all!
We hope it will not be another 50 years, Fred, before you visit us again.
Fred points out his name.
