On Saturday 17th August 2019, members of the St Milburga tower went on a tour of Herefordshire, visiting the following towers for up to an hour of ringing at each: Dilwyn Kington Presteigne Staunton-on-Arrow Eardisland Each session was run by a different person, ensuring that a good variety of methods were rung. Over the course of the day, we covered the following: Rounds and Call Changes Grandsire Doubles Plain Bob Doubles April Day Reverse Canterbury Doubles Stedman Doubles Plain Bob Minor Single Oxford Bob Minor Cambridge Surprise Minor Grandsire Triples Plain Bob Triples Single Oxford Bob Triples Stedman Triples Plain Bob Major All participants felt that they had been spoiled by the quality of the bells at the towers that we used and we look forward to having our own new set of evenly matched bells very soon! A fine lunch was had at the Cattle Shed in Kington and the day was rounded off with dinner at The Temeside Inn. Thanks go to Henry Lewis for setting up the day and to all of the tower captains for making us feel so welcome. Top photo: Presteigne; Bottom photos: Staunton-on-Arrow
