Castle Acre, Norfolk

Church of St James
6 bells 10-3-16 in G#

In 1951 the old five bells were recast and a new treble was added to create the ring of six.

Castle Acre is a very picturesque village and is popular with tourists. This meant we had to have guards around the microphone asking people to keep quiet as they walked past.

The balcony ringing chamber caused some distraction for the ringers as it allowed tourists to see what was happening and gave the ringers an audience.

The band rang a 60 of Grandsire doubles.

The band consisted of:

1 Helen Mansfield
2 Barbara A Foster
3 Angela M Athawes
4 Andrew D Higson
5 Keith J Walpole (C)
6 Andrew W R Wilby
