With the best wishes of all the Grappenhall ringers to the Reverend Jane Proudfoot, who had just taken her final service at Grappenhall after over twelve years as Rector. We thank Jane for all her support for our ringing, and especially for our Bell Project to cast the new ring of 10 - without her it would not have happened so speedily. We all wish her well in her new role as Archdeacon of Macclesfield.

Rung before the Celtic Communion service as a 5th wedding anniversary compliment to church members Phil and Helen Hughes. When they married in 2019, they were disappointed not to be able to have the bells ring out for their wedding service, as it was right in the middle of our bell project, and there were no bells in the tower. Hopefully we have now made up for this!
500th together 5 and 9.

Before and after the national ringing, church and tower were open to visitors. Many villagers accepted the invitation and climbed the tower to look out over our green and pleasant land. At dusk, a beacon was lit on the roof by Fraser, our youngest ringer. Remembering with gratitude all who served to protect our freedom.

Ringing Out for Peace in commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings and to celebrate the contribution of Major CB (Bernard) Stone, DSO, RE, Great Uncle of 5.
Major Stone landed early at Bernieres-sur-Mer on Juno Beach with the Royal Engineers in support of the Canadians. He was a Major in command of four Platoons, over 200 men across about a 3 mile front. Their initial task was to clear obstacles to create gaps for the landing craft. The water was much deeper than predicted. He jumped into the water to clear mines and was awarded a Distinguished Service Order (just one of 8 earned by an RE on the day). They then went on to clear mines and obstacles, and demolish and build bridges.
