Badby Bells
The bellhanger and all the bells turned up on 2 March and with our valiant volunteers had all the bells back in place by the end of the week. Two additional visits on Wednesdays 11 and 18 March were needed to complete the final adjustments after which the first practice this year took place with stretchy new ropes.
A special celebration is planned for Sunday 28 June: after the morning service, an afternoon of bells and barbecue will be held from 12 to 5pm for villagers and ringers, including ringing sessions and tours up the tower to see the finished work.
