<\/a>This photo, which we assumed was of a band of Pattingham ringers, has been on the website for many years without knowing when it was taken or the names of the ringers. We have been contacted by Kenmure Russell, a Pattingham ringer until 1975, who has a copy together with the names of those shown. After the list of names is the note “Bellringers 1915 when Col Boycott was buried.”\nBack row: James Monckton, John Blakemore, William Poynton, John Laws, James Ray

\nTaken at Hawkestone Park, Salop. Saturday June 2nd 1934<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a>This elaborate tablet, which is in the ringing chamber, commemorates the restoration of the tower and augmentation of the bells to 8 in 1865. The black inscribed stone is nearly 3 feet wide and 5 feet high and the whole thing is 5\u00bd feet wide and 9 feet high.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a>The tablet shown above records that the two new trebles added in 1864 were “paid for by subscriptions chiefly raised by James Harper”. This framed poem, which has for many years hung between the outer and inner doors of the church entrance, which is quite a dark area, seems to have been part of that fund raising effort.
\nThe words on the ribbons are the inscriptions on the bells. The first six are on the original 1724 bells and the other is the inscription on the new treble. The new second does not have an inscription other than the names of the vicar, curate, churchwardens and parish clerk, which may be why that bell does not have a ribbon.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a>There are four peal boards in the ringing chamber.
\nThree are on one wall and they record peals in 1974, 1982, 1992 and 1993, which were respectively the first peal entirely by a Pattingham band, the first peal of major by a Pattingham band, the last peal on the old oak frame and the first on the new frame.
\nThe other is above the door and records the first peal on the bells in 1865.
\nThere are more detailed images on the pealboards<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a>The wheel of the tenor was broken by a falling piece of masonry. Part of it now hangs in the ringing chamber and displays the brasses for the Bells of Pattingham Run. The individual brasses can be seen here<\/a>. The Bells Run website<\/a> is at https:\/\/www.pattinghambellsrun.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a>This is the Pattingham Sunday Service Ringers at the end of 2007.
