Rung to mark the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces. We shared the ringing in support of all Ukrainians who have endured four years of war with constant strikes targeting their infrastructure when the temperature can drop to -20C in winter. In particular, supporting all those in the occupied territories and the brave soldiers on the front line doing all they can to keep the Russian forces out. 'Slava Ukraini'.
On a happier note, Lynsey celebrated the anniversary of her marriage in this church 25 years ago. This was her first ring on the restored and augmented bells - she rang 4, 5 and 6 (the three original bells).
