Ringing Remembers
The Ringing Remembers Campaign seeks to honour the 1,400 ringers who gave their lives in the First World War by recruiting 1,400 new ringers for the Remembrance Services on Sunday, November 11th at 10.45am. Hacheston shares its Remembrance Service with Parham, and this year the service will be at Parham at 10.45am. The bells will be rung half-muffled from 10.15 - 10.45am. The names of the men on the Hacheston and Parham War Memorials will be read out ready for the 2-minutes silence at 11am. Later, at 12.30pm, the bells at Hacheston will be rung in open peal to celebrate the Armistice and the Victory.
Hacheston currently has one person learning to ring, Parham two. If you would like to learn to ring ready for November 11th, or are a ringer that has not rung for a while, please contact David Clough using the Contact Us page on the Hacheston Church website.
Finally, at 7.05pm, we shall be ringing at Marlesford church as part of the Battle's Over Campaign. This is a further campaign across the country (and across the English-speaking world) where, following the lighting of beacons, church bells will be rung to celebrate the Armistice and the coming of peace as they were on Armistice day itself 100 years ago.
