Branch members met on 11th January 2020 for ringing in Market Overton and Whissendine, a service conducted by the Rev Deborah Marsh, Vicar of Whissendine and the Annual General Meeting of the branch. The minutes of the AGM are now available here.
Remembrance Day Ringing
On Remembrance Sunday church bells rang out all over Rutland, many of them half-muffled, to remember those who died or were injured in armed conflicts. Most services were in the morning, with silence at 11.00; the main County service was in Oakham at 2.30 pm, attended by the Lord-Lieutenant of the County, the High Sheriff, Sir Alan Duncan and many other civic dignitaries, together with an impressive display of military personnel.
Even more bells would have been rung if only Rutland had more bell ringers! Please follow this link if you think you might be interested in learning.
