Bells Rededicated!!

We had an enjoyable rededication Service on Sunday (15th Jan) led by the Right Revd Lindsay Urwin, Bishop of Horsham. The church was packed to capacity and included a few ringing 'VIP's', namely Ian Hastilow(Master of the Association), Jonathan Franklin (Divisional Master) and Hugh Pettifer (Bell Restoration Expert for SCA). Ian's 'Chain of Office' created much interest amongst the non-ringing parishoners!
The extra ringers in church meant we were able to ring significantly more methods than we do on a normal Sunday morning, ranging from Rounds and Call Changes up to Cambridge Surprise Minor!

The local paper (Mid-Sussex Times) once again sent a photographer to capture the event. Should an article appear, I will aim to get it scanned and uploaded to the main site.

We finished the day off by ringing a Quarter Peal prior to evensong.
