Single Bell Ringing for Grenfell, June 2020

Since the beginning of ‘lockdown’ in March 2020, St Andrew’s bells have remained silent with permission needed to ring a single bell only.

The silence was broken on Sunday 14th June when permission was given to ring a single bell for the 3rd anniversary of the Grenfell fire tragedy.

The tenor was tolled 72 times to remember the 72 victims of the fire followed by 2 minutes silence and 3 more tolls to signify the 3 years that have passed.

A video recording is available on the Parish website.

We hope to hear the bells ringing for happier occasions soon!
