There will be no ringing at Hambledon until further notice as there is a problem with no. 2 bell. A gudgeon pin sheared, allowing the bell to fall into the pit, causing cracks in the crown of the bell. The bell will have to be taken out and recast or replaced and the headstock repaired or replaced.
1st Q. in method on a working bell, 3. In celebration of the baptism of grandchildren of Hambledon ringers – Archie Platt, Marianne Ogilvie and Grace Hall, plus Ralph Berry, a parishioner’s child.
