Following the devastating fire at the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris on 15th April, the Archbishops of Canterbury & York and Prime Minister Teresa May asked for bells at churches and cathedrals across the UK to ring out in solidarity when possible on Thursday 18th April (Maundy Thursday).
The following performances were rung in W&P Guild towers on Thursday 18th April 2019 in solidarity with the people of France, following the fire at Notre-Dame. All are recorded on BellBoard.
