First performance for the Society for 104 years.

Rung as a farewell to Rev. Martin & Mrs Maddy Dale who are moving to the Upper Wreake group of Parishes, Leicestershire in November. Without the support of Martin in restarting a new local band, and Maddy as one of our ringers, we would never have been able to achieve the provision of a flourishing local band, and of putting the bells and belfry into good order. Martin & Maddy will both be sorely missed and our loss is Leicestershire's gain.
