In Spring 2019, Mr Noel Drew presented St Andrew\u2019s bell ringers with a commemorative plaque to be placed on the wall of the ringing room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plaque, shown below, is a permanent record of the names of all the bell ringers who rang at St Andrew\u2019s on 11th<\/sup> November 2018 which was the 100th<\/sup> Anniversary of Armistice Day at the end of WWI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were 24 ringers from St Andrew\u2019s who took part in that ringing last November including 7 new recruits who were taught to ring as part of the \u2018Ringing Remembers\u2019 campaign. This was a national project that sought to train at least 1400 new bell ringers to symbolically replace the 1400 bell ringers who are known to have lost their lives during WWI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At St Andrew\u2019s we know of one local bell ringer by the name of John Brockhurst who lost his life during the Great War and we have been able to remember him by name on the commemorative plaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the bell ringers Annual Dinner on 2nd<\/sup> November 2019, Mr Noel Drew was invited as our guest and Clive Stephenson thanked him for the plaque as being a thoughtful and generous addition to the tower. It will remain on the wall as a permanent item of interest and talking point in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone is welcome to visit the tower to view the plaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
