Remembrance 2020
With lockdown, our bells have once again become silent. They would normally have been rung half-muffled to mark the start of the Remembrance Sunday Service in the Parish Chuch. With no service in Church a single bell was tolled to mark the 2 minutes silence around 11:00 a.m.. Thanks to Joe for ringing and Kay for the recording
