Posted by Graham Paul on 18/05/2015 Commemorating VE Day The 70th anniversary of VE Day was on 8th May 2015, and HM Government requested that church bells be rung throughout the country some time during that weekend. Northampton Ringers Society members responded to this request by ringing before a special service at All Saints on the 8th, and at three of the Northampton Town Centre churches during the afternoon of 9th May. The bells at St Peter's church were rung starting at 2pm, and this was followed by ringing at All Saints and then at St Giles. Regrettably because of a theatrical production taking place in the church it wasn't possible to ring at Holy Sepulchre. Those taking part in the ringing were Bridget Paul, Alan Paul, Graham Paul, Roger Fountain, Helen Hayward, Liz Moore, Shirley Jones, Giles Willson, Kevin Browne, Nick Parsons, Marian Johnson, Michael Letts, Ian Buckby and Colin Brown. Posted by Graham Paul on 07/05/2015 East Sussex ringers visit Northampton A party of ringers, mainly from Southover in Lewes, East Sussex, visited Northamptonshire over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend. They rang in Northampton on Monday 4th May 2015 with the programme being St Peter's 9.45 to 10.30am, All Saints from 11am to 12 noon, and St Giles from 1.30 to 2.30pm. Posted by Graham Paul on 03/05/2015 Ringing at Holy Sepulchre During much of April and May 2015, the church of the Holy Sepulchre will be used as a theatre for two productions and little ringing will be possible over this period. Service ringing will take place on Sundays 10th and 24th May but there will be no practice ringing until June 10th. Posted by Graham Paul on 25/04/2015 Page 13 of 27 PREV | NEXT
