Festival of Bells Service

By jeremy on

Today we celebrate the centenary of the re-casting of the bells, with a service led by the Bishop of Ripon, Rt Revd Dr Helen-Ann Hartley.

The first photograph shows the Bishop blessing the bell rope, before the bells rang out across the town.

The second photo shows the celebration cake made by Ali for the event.

Also here are some extracts from the service sheet, and the news sheet for this week.
