On Saturday 13th<\/sup> May 2023, 46 bell ringers and friends set off from St Andrew\u2019s to visit 5 different churches in Hertfordshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the churches had eight bells, not too heavy and fairly easy to ring. This gave our young ringers, Carys, Ellen & Jamie a good opportunity to ring well whilst the more experienced ringers could ring some difficult methods without having to worry about the bells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We visited Great Stanmore and Aldenham before our buffet lunch at Bushey Heath. After lunch, the bells improved and the ringing became more enjoyable, especially at Bushey and Langleybury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bushey was home to a ringer called Bertram Prewett who rang in a record peal of 9 hours at Hornchurch in 1912. He sadly lost his life in the First World War, but we were able to see many peal boards at Bushey with his name on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our final stop at Langleybury gave people an opportunity to walk along the canal before our evening meal at a pub with Harry Potter connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An enjoyable day with some good ringing, excellent food, and great company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
