Dedication

Dedicated to the memory of all those who gave their lives in the Great War

1914 – 1918.

Over 1,400 of the fallen were Church Bell Ringers, of whom more than 60 rang in the towers of the Winchester

Diocesan Guild of Change Ringers, now the Winchester and Portsmouth

Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers.

Our ringers have been honoured to offer up their ringing. Their associated Guilds are pleased to present these records of

special ringing to the Cathedrals of Winchester and Portsmouth, as a mark

of respect for those who made the supreme sacrifice for us all.

Lest we Forget.

Foreword

“On 11 November 1918 peals of bells once more rang freely, breaking the near silence that had been brought about by the four years of war. One hundred years later those bells are still ringing for all that gave their lives from the Winchester and Portsmouth Dioceses and the wider community. Bell ringing is a great way to do something together, often with whole families participating. On this anniversary we celebrate, honour and remember those who have given their lives for our freedom. This publication is a wonderful way of commemorating the ringers and non-ringers who died in the 1914 – 1918 conflict, ensuring they will not be forgotten in this generation”.

The Right Reverend Tim Dakin, Bishop of Winchester

“This volume records a century of bell ringing from the tolling of a single bell to the most complicated of peals, from tiny villages to our Cathedral. Here is testimony again that the service and sacrifice of so many in the Great War is not forgotten but honoured by succeeding generations. As Armistice was declared we are told that bell ringing erupted spontaneously as outpouring of relief that four years of war had ended. This book honours that and a further century of joyful ringing by thousands of Guild members.”

The Right Reverend Christopher Foster, Bishop of Portsmouth

The bell ringing performances in this volume, shared with the reader, are dedicated to and commemorating those that fell during the Great War in the service of their country; they represent thousands of hours of performances by ringers from the four corners of the Winchester and Portsmouth Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers, from neighbouring towers now in the Guildford Diocese that were in the Winchester Diocese until 1927 and other neighbouring Guilds.

We acknowledge the efforts of each and every bell ringer, novice and expert alike, identified in the records, for their commemorative performances whether these are dedicated to individual servicemen and servicewomen or for occasions such as Armistice Day.

The records of bell ringing performances in this volume were collated and, where possible verified, from numerous sources, including

• Bell News, the first journal solely devoted to bell ringing and appeared from February 1881 until 25 December 1915

• The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers Rolls of Honour • The Commonwealth War Graves Commission website www.cwgc.org • Dove’s Guide for Church Bell Ringers • Hampshire Constabulary Historical Society • Hampshire Record Office • The Ringing World, the weekly journal for Church Bell Ringers

• Ringing World BellBoard, the electronic archive published and maintained by The Ringing World Limited

• Winchester and Portsmouth Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers archives • Records produced by individual church towers, including those published in the

local press.

We wish to thank all of the individuals from these organisations; all have kindly supported us in our ambitious project.

We would like to thank John Harrison http://jaharrison.me.uk/Ringing/Glossary/B.html for permission to use some of his explanations of bell ringing terms in the Glossary.

We also acknowledge the efforts of the Guild’s project Working Group that saw through the researching and collation of records, oversaw the design and publication of this volume and encouraged bell ringers to ring and report commemorative performances so that they could be included.

Map of the Winchester Diocese 1913 – 1914

This map, although undated, is regarded as current in 1913 – 1914 as it appears in a bundle of papers of that date relating to proposals for the division of the diocese (which did not take place until more than a decade later) preserved among the papers of Montague Knight of Chawton House, a member of the committee considering the proposals. The outlining is of the areas of the two Suffragan Bishops.

Introduction

The Winchester and Portsmouth Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers (W & P) is an active Guild representing bell ringers across Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands and part of Dorset. The Guild’s website can be found at https://wpbells.org/

To set the context of this book, we can reflect on the thoughts of fellow bell ringers, who in 1914 at the outbreak of the Great War, came together to wish those who were leaving behind their loved ones and friends, a speedy and safe return:

Bell News, 8 August 1914

As the nation commemorated the centenary of the signing of the Armistice to end the Great War on 11 November 1918, the W & P Guild collated records of World War 1 - related bell ringing from the years of the war to the present day.

Since 1914 the area covered by the Winchester Diocesan Guild of Change Ringers, as it was then, has changed and some bell ringing towers that were formerly part of our Guild originally are now within neighbouring Bell Ringing Guilds. Where known, their ringing performances have been included in these archives and, if the location is no longer within the W & P Guild area, the County is shown.

The archive records ringing by many bell ringers; it includes memorial ringing during the war, celebratory ringing that took place on Armistice Day 1918 and commemorative ringing since. The performances were often arranged for Armistice Day services including the Centenary, or the anniversary of the death of a local serviceman or servicewoman who gave their life for their country. The occasions were especially


6

poignant when the commemorative ringing was dedicated to bell ringers at the church or local residents who had been lost in the conflict.

The first section of the archive contains the ringing which took place in church bell towers and ‘Mini rings’. The second section records hand bell performances, listed by the towns or villages where they were rung as they often took place in a ringer’s home.

Each ringing record includes the performance location, date and title (e.g. ‘Butterworth Doubles’), sometimes the duration (e.g. ‘in 44 minutes’), the names of each ringer and, in most cases alongside, the number of the specific bell they rang during the performance. The title might include the number of ‘Changes’ rung (e.g. ‘1,260’). The Conductor of the ringing is denoted by the letter ‘C’ next to the ringer’s name.

Many records include notation such as (11-0-6). This is the weight of the Tenor bell in hundredweight (cwt.), quarter hundredweight (qtr.) and pounds (lbs.). The weight in this example would be 11 hundredweight and 6 pounds – about 561.5 kilograms.

The musical key might also be included e.g. ‘in E♭’.

The archive includes various records: ‘Peals, Quarter Peals, Rounds and Call Changes’, all involving a number of bells being rung by a team (‘Band’) of ringers and the ‘Tolling’ of a single bell by one ringer; all using either tower bells or a set of hand bells. The tower bells generally would have been within a church tower, and a ‘Mini ring’ likely in a private residence. Hand bell performances often would have been in a ringer’s home, or in a church if there were no tower bells or the bells were unringable.

At the end of the records is a Glossary of Terms and an Index of the named individuals for whom the special ringing was dedicated. Where known, the serviceman’s or servicewoman’s rank, service number and branch of the services is included to differentiate those with the same or similar names.

A project of this complexity, bringing together over 1,400 records of performances in almost 200 sites, risks errors and omissions. If despite all our efforts to verify the details recorded, errors have arisen, we apologise for any disappointment caused. Alongside this printed volume, a digital archive has been created and is available on the W & P website https://wpbells.org/. Any errors or omissions brought to our attention can be included or rectified in the digital archive.

In remembrance of the 100th anniversary of the death of Ronald Mowbray Harvey in the Great War of 1914-1918. He was the third child and second son of Richard and Alice Harvey who were married in 1889 and were a farming family at West Afton and later Newbarn Farm, Calbourne. Following the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914 Ronald joined the Isle of Wight Rifles as Private Soldier 31598. He later transferred to the Machine Gun Corps (Infantry) as Private Soldier 67167 serving with the 170th Company in France. He was wounded in the Battle of Messines a few miles west of the town of Armentieres. He died from his wounds on 12 June 1917, aged 22 years. He is buried in the Estaires Communal Cemetery and Extension. The cemetery is located about 8 miles west of Armentieres on the outskirts of the town of Estaires and was used mainly for British and Commonwealth burials. The cemetery contains 875 burials from the 1914-1918 war 63 of which are unidentified and nine burials from the withdrawal of the British Expeditionary Force to Dunkirk at the end of May 1940. The town of Estaires was occupied by French cavalry on 15 October 1914 and passed at once into British hands where it was used as a Field Ambulance centre and a Casualty Clearing Station as early as November 1914. On 10 April 1918 the town was captured by German forces after an obstinate defence by the 50th (Northumbrian) Division and was finally retaken by British troops at the beginning of September 1918. His name is recorded on the Parish War Memorial at St Georges Church, Arreton, and on the Arreton Roll of Honour. His name is also recorded on a diamond shaped marble plaque on the north wall of All Saints Church, Calbourne. Unusually for such a plaque it records the death of a private soldier, not an officer. Ronald’s mother Alice died in 1930 aged 68 years and his father Richard died in 1947, aged 86 years.

Christine Faulkner of this tower, tolled the treble bell 100 times as a personal tribute to her uncle who she was never able to meet.

In remembrance of the 100th anniversary of the death in the Great War of 1914-1918 of Private 38519 Percy William Dashwood. Percy was born in 1898 the son of William and Nellie Dashwood nee Trueman of 8 Newcomen Road, Lake. He was one of a family of eight children. His father William died in 1910. His mother Nellie was later remarried to James Godden and the family continued to live at 8 Newcomen Road, Lake.

Percy died on 18 November 1917, aged 19 years, in action on the Western Front in Belgium. He was serving with the 2nd Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment during the Third Battle of Ypres and Passchendaele. His name is recorded on the Parish War Memorial at Lake and on the Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing in Belgium. Tyne Cot is the largest war cemetery in the world and is located 5 miles north-east of the town of Ypres. The Second Battle of Ypres in 1915 became infamous when the Germans released poisonous gas onto the battlefield, the first time such a weapon had ever been used. In 1871 William and Mary Ann Dashwood the grandparents of Percy lived at Toll Cottage, a small wood fronted cottage on the main Sandown to Shanklin road at Lake. William was a dealer in china and glass. Mary Ann, or one of her children, would collect a toll from travellers of three pennies for one horse or six pennies for a pair. An incident occurred on one occasion when the toll charges were increased. The tollgates remained closed when anyone refused to pay and an irate wagoner drove his horses through the gates smashing them to pieces. Toll Cottage was eventually replaced by a post office and a grocery shop. Edith Trott nee Dashwood a younger sister of Percy lived at 2 Red Lion Cottages, Main Road, Arreton, during the 1960’s with her husband Reginald Trott a builder. Their daughter Christine Faulkner nee Trott is the niece of Percy and is also a bell ringer at St George’s Church, Arreton.

The family requested the tolling of the bell in remembrance of Percy giving his life in the service of his country. A donation was made to the funds of St George’s Church in appreciation of this.

Tenor tolled 100 times.

In remembrance of the 100th anniversary of the death in the Great War of 1914 - 1918 otherwise known as the First World War of Lance Corporal 17624 Robert Wallace Mackett. He was born in 1893 at Long Lane, Staplers, Newport, (then part of Arreton) the son of William Mackett, a Railway Platelayer, and Ellen Mackett nee Chiverton. The family continued living at Long Lane and Robert, on reaching employable age, became a Farm Carter and later joined the Hampshire Police as a Police Constable. Following the outbreak of the Great War in 1914 serving members of the police service were exempted from compulsory military service. Robert along with many other serving police officers did volunteer for military service even though those officers volunteering were told this would mean the loss of police pension entitlements for the period of their absence on military service. This ruling was later rescinded. Robert died on 27th August 1918 aged 25 years whilst on active service with the Second Battalion Coldstream Guards in France following heavy fighting and the eventual capture by allied forces of the village of Croisilles. He is buried at Croisilles British Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France, which is located approximately 8 miles south east of Arras. The cemetery contains 1171 graves of allied soldiers of which 647 have not been identified. It also contains the graves of 6 allied airmen killed in the Second World War and 18 German war graves. His name is recorded on the Arreton Parish War Memorial at St George’s Church Arreton, the Arreton Parish Roll of Honour and the Hampshire Constabulary War Memorial at Police Headquarters, Romsey Road, West Hill, Winchester. The Hampshire Constabulary War Memorial bears the names of 21 members of the force who lost their lives in the Great War. The memorial was designed by Captain A J Roberts the County Architect, the building work was carried out by Messrs Vokes and Beck of Stockbridge Road, Winchester and the carvings of wreaths and county badges was by Mr P J Lyness of Southampton. The memorial itself was in the form of a monumental approach to the flight of steps leading to the front entrance of the force headquarters. It was thus in a prominent position and had to be passed by everyone entering or leaving the building. The Duke of Wellington as Chairman of Quarter Sessions invited the Lord Lieutenant Major General The Right Honourable J E Seely C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., to unveil the memorial at an impressive and moving ceremony on 27th January 1923 in the presence of dignitaries, relatives and friends of those named on the memorial, work colleagues, representatives of the armed services and of all the Divisions making up the Hampshire Constabulary and members of the public. The Isle of Wight Constabulary was represented by Police Constable Gamble. The Hampshire Police Headquarters at Winchester was demolished in the 1960’s. The site was cleared and the present headquarters was built in its place. It is not known where the memorial was relocated to. It would be a disgrace if the memorial was destroyed within 40 years of its construction and it would be a shockingly disrespectful act to the memory of these brave policeman who volunteered and made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

This performance commemorates the approximately 800 women whose deaths during the Great War are recorded by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Women were largely involved in non-combative roles, but nevertheless, they faced enormous risks. By way of example, many served with the Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service, and whilst hostile forces ought not, under the Geneva Conventions, target those who are treating the sick and injured, several hospital ships were destroyed and sunk. One of those, the Hospital ship “Glenart Castle”, was torpedoed and sunk in the Bristol Channel on 26 February 1918, when seven RAMC officers and 47 medical orderlies along with 99 of the hospital patients on board lost their lives. Eight nurses of the QAIM Nursing Service were also lost: Katy Beaufoy, Acting Matron, Rebecca Rose Beresford, Staff Nurse, aged 39, Edith Blake, Staff Nurse, aged 32, Elizabeth Edgar. Staff Nurse, Jane Evans, Sister, Charlotte Henry, Staff Nurse, Rose Elizabeth Kendall, Sister, aged 31, and Mary MacKinnon, Staff Nurse, aged 31, (Territorial Force Nursing Service). Their names are listed on the Hollybrook Memorial in Southampton, which was unveiled by the War Graves Commission in 1930, to commemorate those members of the Commonwealth forces who were lost or buried at sea and whose final resting place is unknown.

Bramley, St James 01/09/2018

Handbell ringing.

“Tommy’s travels” in the Basingstoke District of the W & P Guild.

Remembrance is often difficult without direct memories or those passed on through family. Men who died in war were young and so are a dead-end on their family tree diagram. Many were never fathers, grandfathers or great grandfathers with photos and prized possessions passed through the family to keep them alive in the hearts of future generations. Memories of them 100 years on are now faded in the family histories.

Taking Tommy on his travels made these brave soldiers more alive to us, as ringers we had an insight into a small aspect of their lives. We know the hard work, dedication, attention to detail and reliability needed to be part of a group of ringers; how team work is essential and that we are an extended family.

Five towers in our district lost ringers. At each tower we had open ringing on tower bells or handbells followed by a silence to remember and then tolling of the tenor for the age of the ringer. Here the stone work of the tower window had disintegrated and so no ringing of the tower bells was allowed as masonry falling onto the ringers was a real possibility. Some Bramley ringers joined us and we rang handbells in memory of Private Alec William Symonds (21). Interestingly the plaque in the church ranked him as Corporal.

Bells muffled ringing for dead heroes - Universal Observance on Intercession Sunday. Never before in the history of ringing has such united action been taken in a public observance as was the case on Sunday, when, throughout the land, with comparatively few exceptions, the bells of our churches were rung muffled “to give emphasis” in the words of the Archbishop of Canterbury, “to our sense of the loss the country has sustained by the death of the brave men who have given their lives in the cause of what we believe to be loyalty to righteousness and truth”. The one important point in connection with this special ringing was the fact that its particular purpose was brought very widely beneath the notice of the public, thanks to the publicity which was obtained through a large number of the great daily papers. Many of them quoted the Archbishop’s letter, and the ringers’ prelude to those remarkable services held on Sunday made an obvious impression. One great London daily paper dwelt upon the “note of solemnity given to the occasion by peals of muffled bells”; another said “a new and impressive note was struck at the services, for muffled peals were rung in memory of the brave men who have fallen”. Thus in varying phrase, the great journals have made known the ringers part. As for the clergy, they readily welcomed the idea of the muffled ringing, and many not only announced the purpose of the ringing, but emphasised its meaning. In hundreds of towers special touches were rung, the ringers themselves going out of their way to make adequate arrangements, and the success which attended the day’s observance was the more remarkable from the fact that in so large a number of cases the bands were seriously depleted by the contributions in men which have been made to the Forces. But if only to ring rounds, the muffles were put on, just as readily and just as willingly as if it were for a quarter peal. [Ringing World 7 January 1916].

Pte Edwin J. Wellstead was a member of St Peter’s tower, Curdridge, Hants, and his loss is deeply felt by his colleagues in that branch of the Winchester Guild. The deceased was only 20 years of age, and was a most promising ringer in Standard methods. He had rung several peals of Grandsire Triples and the treble to a peal of Double Norwich. On September 16th, the Curdridge band rang three 504’s of Grandsire Triples, with the bells deeply muffled, except the tenor, which was “open” on one side. The three touches were rung without a break, and were called by three different conductors, viz., Alfred Mears, W. J. Ryves and Andrew Mears respectively, each 500 [sic] having a different calling. Extract from The Ringing World, 24/09/1915, p. 135 Ringers lost on “Royal Edward”. Mr and Mrs Wellstead expressed their thanks for the many messages of sympathy which they have received in their bereavement.

02/01/1916


Corporal G Bull, of Curdridge, Hants company, has just come out of hospital, where he has been under treatment for a great many wounds received from shrapnel, while gallantly attempting to repair a communication line which had been broken, and which thus endangered the artillery. He is now home on sick leave, and was able to take part in ringing for men’s service. The band have lost Private E J Wellstead RAMC who was drowned when the “Royal Edward” was sunk and another member, Private R Elcock, is serving with the colours. Despite the loss of the services of these three men, the company, during 1915, rang one quarter-peal of Grandsire Triples, and 46 504’s, two 720’s and eleven 360’s of Bob Minor, and 104 six-scores of Stedman Doubles.

Rounds and Call changes.

The tenor was tolled by Lynne Jordan.

Tommy’s travels in the Basingstoke District of the W & P Guild.



Five towers in our district lost ringers. At each tower we had open ringing on tower bells or handbells followed by a silence to remember and then tolling of the tenor for the age of the ringer. Deane is a tiny village to the west of Basingstoke. The church has structural problems, so ringing is generally restricted to special occasions and individual pieces of ringing are limited to about ten minutes in duration. The order of the bells in some changes makes them a little tricky to strike at times as tower movement makes some of the bells drop.

Two ringers from the same family were lost from this band. Lynne Jordan, of St Michael’s, Basingstoke was given the privilege of tolling the tenor for the life of Private Alfred Kirby aged 25 (about the same age as her youngest, Greg, is now and who is also a ringer). Also remembered was Private Frank Kirby (34).

Three ringers, each of whom lost an arm in the Great War, took part together in a peal of Bob Major. They were Messrs. H Balaam, (Basingstoke), G Pullinger (Bishopstoke), and J W Faithfull (Southampton). They were all ringers before the war, and it says much for their enthusiasm that, despite the handicap of having lost a limb, they have kept up active participation in the art. All these ringers, as well as other one-armed men, have previously rung peals, but this is believed to be the first occasion that three have taken part in the same peal.

The Winchester Diocesan Guild loses a promising young ringer, and the Guildford Holy Trinity Society its junior member, by the death, in France, of Private R W Melville, as a result of gas poisoning. The deceased was the only son of Mr W R Melville, the present steeple-keeper at Holy Trinity and was just over 19 years of age. He joined H M Forces about Easter of this year. Private Melville began his ringing career at Tring, Herts, when little more than a child, moving with his parents to Haslemere, and later to Guildford, where both he and his father joined the Holy Trinity Society. His first and only peal, one of Grandsire Triples, was rung at Chiddingfold on 26 December 1917. Members of both the Societies, with Mr J J Jones, district secretary, representing the Winchester Diocesan Guild, met in strong force at Holy Trinity to honour the boy’s memory in the usual way. Various touches of Grandsire Triples were rung with half-muffled bells, in which everyone attending had an opportunity of taking part, and the ringing concluded with a beautiful 504 Stedman Triples in very slow time.

A ceremony took place on a recent Saturday, the occasion being the dedication of a memorial tablet to two members of the Holy Trinity Society, who gave their lives for their country in the recent war. The proceedings opened with the bells half-muffled by the Revs. C W O Jenkyn and E B James and six members of the Holy Trinity Society. The Rector then conducted a short form of service, and unveiled the tablet, which is of alabaster, bearing the inscription – To the proud memory of Albert Victor Burdock, Robert William Melville, ringers of this tower, who gave their lives in the Great War, 1914 - 1918; in grateful remembrance of whose sacrifice this tablet is erected by the members of the Holy Trinity Society of Change Ringers. After the dedication, a short memorial service was held in the beautiful chapel of the Queen’s R W S Regiment when an address was given by the Revd. C W O Jenkyn, who spoke of the striking similarity in both age and ideals of the Winchester and Oxford Diocesan Guilds. They should remember, he said, when they uncovered a memorial, as they had that day, that it must not be with the idea that they had done all they ought to have done. The memorial should be a reminder of what had been done, of a real Christian life that had been given, and an example to those who remained to live in their time a truly godly Christian life. It reminded them also that those who were commemorated were indeed, living, and had now an actual part in what was done, though that part was not now transacted through the medium of a body. After the service, those present, numbering about 45 proceeded to the parish hall, where tea had been prepared, after which handbells were enjoyed, till, at the conclusion of the daily Evensong, the bells at Holy Trinity and St Nicolas’ Churches were available for ringing. In addition to a full attendance of Guildford ringers there were present the Revs. Sir John Herschell (hon secretary of the Winchester Guild), E Banks James, C W O Jenkyn, Canon Kirwan, Rector of Holy Trinity; Mr J W Wilkins, High Wycombe; and representative ringers from Worplesdon, Cranleigh, Chiddingfold, Haslemere, Witley and Dorking. There was also unveiled, without ceremony, a tablet of alabaster recording the first peal of Guildford Surprise Major, which was rung by the Society in 1913, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the dedication of the church, which fact is duly recorded, and which forms the only permanent record which the building contains of that event.

To commemorate the centenary of the death of John Series who died on 15th April 1918 aged 28. Private John Robert Series AKA John Robert Shrimplin was born to Robert and Harriett Shrimplin in 1889. Sadly in 1890 Harriet Shrimplin died in childbirth to John’s brother, George Leonard Shrimplin.

Following her death, the two boys were split up and John was taken in by his Uncle and Aunt, George and Lucy Series, in Stratfield Saye, where John was a bell ringer. John joined up with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and he appears to have taken their surname as all of his military records show him as John Robert Series. In 1915 he married Daisy Francis Caroline Liddiard of Kensington, London. Tragically John was killed on 15th April 1918 and in 1923 Daisy married John’s brother George and they lived in Heckfield.

Among those who went down in the “Royal Edward” when she was torpedoed in the Aegean Sea, were four ringers belonging to the 13th Hants Regiment, who were regular visitors, during their stay in the Isle of Wight, to the tower of St. Thomas’s Church, Newport. They were Ptes. W D Hall, V G Hillary, E Hillary and E Wellstead.

To their memory, as well as to that of fallen Islanders of the 8th Hants (T.F.) Regiment, and also of those island men lost on the ill-fated transport, touches of 224 and 210 Grandsire Triples, conducted by W Upton and H Jennings respectively, and three plain courses of Stedman Triples were rung with the bells half-muffled.

Pte Edwin Wellstead was a member of the St Peter’s tower, Curdridge, Hants, and his loss is deeply felt by his colleagues in that branch of the Winchester Guild. The deceased was only 20 years of age, and was a most promising ringer in Standard methods. He had rung several peals of Grandsire Triples and the treble to a peal of Double Norwich.

Ptes V G Hillary and E Hillary belonged to Wonston, a five-bell tower, near Sutton Scotney, Hants, and both had made progress on eight bells during their visits to Newport tower. E Hillary, who had got as far as ringing an inside bell to Grandsire Triples, was a member of the choir at Wonston.

Pte W D Hall, although not a practical ringer, was much interested in the art. [Ringing World, 24 September 1915]. [Note: it is believed that the casualties were in the 2nd Bn. Hampshire Regiment].

13/09/1915

Muffled Peal.

As a tribute to the memory of those who fell in the 1/8th Batt. I.W.

W D Hall, E G and V F Hillary and R Wellstead. [Note: it is believed that the casualties were in the 2nd Bn. Hampshire Regiment].

Rung with the bells half-muffled as a tribute of respect to the memory of Pte Fredk. James Chiverton, Hampshire Regiment, a former ringer at this church, who fell in action on 30 November. Also as a mark of respect to all those from this parish who have made the supreme sacrifice.

This was the first peal for 108 years rung by a local band of ringers, and it was secured at the first attempt. Ringers of the treble, second, fourth and tenor had been “stony” ringers for periods varying from 20 to 30 years, until 1914 when they were taken in hand by Mr H Jennings, of Ryde, who quickly got them out of the old ruts, and has now attained what was their then ambition. The ringer to whose memory the muffled peal was rung, was one of the old “stony” band. He would never attempt change ringing, but in a broad-minded manner, stood by so as not to impede others when the improvement was first introduced. But his genial and unchanging character prompted his brother ringers to do what they could do to honour him in the greatest of all sacrifices that man can be called upon to make. May he rest in peace.

First peal by all except the conductor.

We are tolling this bell today in the time-honoured way of nine strikes to represent a man (six for a woman and three a child) and after a pause 100 strikes to commemorate the centenary of the First World War death of: Cecil James Gasson on 26th November 1914. Cecil was just 14 when he joined the Royal Navy as “Boy 2nd class”. After his training he was posted on H.M.S. Bulwark. On 26th November 1914 the battleship was moored in the River Medway, Sheerness, Kent. Many of the crew had been given shore leave and had returned at 7.00am that morning and the ship had a full complement of crew. At 7.30am the ship was torn apart by a huge explosion that the Board of Enquiry attributed to overheating of cordite charges in storage. 745 men and 51 officers were killed and only 14 men survived. Cecil’s body was never found. He was just 17. His parents were George and Sarah Gasson and his father was a carpenter on the Tylney estate in Rotherwick.

Rung half-muffled with the 5th as cover in the Doubles prior to the annual Remembrance Day service.

Last year one of our band suggested an alternative way to ring Doubles for solemn occasions such as funerals, Remembrance Day and before midnight on New Year’s Eve; Rather than having the Tenor ringing last as the front five ring changes, it was suggested that the 5th ring last with the Tenor taking the place of the 5th and ringing ‘inside’. This lends an even more solemn effect to half-muffled ringing as the ‘key’ is shifted into the minor mode. We successfully tried this out in touches on Remembrance Day and New Year’s Eve last year. An advantage for the latter is that we could dispense with the muffles, thereby eliminating the usual (and risky) scramble to remove them before midnight. This year we agreed to attempt a half-muffled quarter peal prior to the Remembrance Day service using this idea. Chris Caryer’s composition comprised ringing 120 Plain Bob Minor (6th single 4ths & in) to produce 123465, then ringing 8½ extents of Plain Bob, Grandsire, St. Simon’s and Reverse Canterbury Doubles with the 5th ringing last to produce the aforementioned minor key effect and, having returned to the row 123465 for the final time, repeating the 120 of Plain Bob Minor but this time with the 5th as observation bell to come back into rounds at the end of the quarter after 47 minutes of very good ringing. About ten minutes into the quarter the muffle on the 5th slipped from its position resulting in a tolling effect that was thought by the band to be even more effective than planned. The muffle was put back for the rest of the morning’s ringing. The ringing for the later evening communion service was also half-muffled and took place without further mishap.

Stratfield Saye, St Mary 01/09/2018


Remembrance is often difficult without direct memories or those passed on through family. Men who died in war were young and so are a dead-end on their family tree diagram. Many were never fathers, grandfathers or great-grandfathers with photos and prized possessions passed through the family to keep them alive in the hearts of future generations. Memories of them 100 years on are now faded in the family histories.

Taking Tommy on his travels made these brave soldiers more alive to us: as ringers we had an insight into a small aspect of their lives. We know the hard work, dedication, attention to detail and reliability needed to be part of a group of ringers; how team work is essential and that we are an extended family.

Five towers in our district lost ringers. At each tower we had open ringing on tower bells or handbells followed by a silence to remember and then tolling of the tenor for the age of the ringer.

Stratfield Saye is a lovely little church on the Stratfield Estate. No ringing is allowed on the bells as the tower is now too weak. However, the vicar took us up to see the bells and we were able to sound each individual bell with a hammer (an ‘interesting’ tuning of a ring of 5 bells).

Five ringers were lost from this church: Lance Corporal Joseph Binge (20), Private Thomas William Binge (22), Private Albert George Broadhurst (24), Sapper Charles Kersley (30), and Private John Robert Series (age unknown, so we tolled the tenor 26 times).

Standing where our lost Tommies would have stood in the ringing room looking at the same oak bracing beams, brick walls and circle of five ropes was a poignant moment. Probably this was the whole band that had perished, and these men had possibly all worked on the estate or in the village.

At the chancel crossing we rang handbells, mainly rounds with each person having a single bell. The vicar’s young grandson, as well as Mary Oliver, who rang at St Michael’s in Basingstoke many years ago, also joined in.

The churchyard has mature trees that certainly would have been growing 100 years ago giving us a further connection to the past. We all sat together between these trees and ate a picnic, then tolled the tenor handbell for each of those lost from the ringing family.

Sunday Morning Ringing.

The Winchester and Portsmouth Diocesan Guild have been organising an initiative called “Tommy’s Travels”. Tommy represents the ringers from the Winchester Diocesan Guild (as it was then) who fell in WW1. The W & P plan is to ring at all of the towers from which the fallen ringers came, with Tommy present for the ringing. Because the Guildford Diocese was formed on 1st May 1927 from the Diocese of Winchester, some of the towers on the W & P list are now in Guildford’s Guild. The Guildford District Quarter Peal weekend was an ideal opportunity to make this happen. Tommy made an impromptu additional appearance at West Clandon (which is outside Guildford District) attending Sunday morning ringing. Remembering two bell ringers of the tower, which at the time, was in the Winchester Diocesan Guild - Private Alfred Savage, who died 11 April 1917, and Private Charles Savage, who died 25 September 1915, aged 19, Sons of William Savage and Mary Ann Savage of Bone’s Cottage, West Clandon, Surrey.

Whole pull and stand (65) on six bells.

Rung half-muffled for a special service at 6.30 pm for the men, including Lord Kitchener, who lost their lives in the “Hampshire”. Lord Kitchener sailed from Scrabster to Scapa Flow on 5 June 1916 aboard HMS Oak before transferring to the armoured cruiser HMS Hampshire for his diplomatic mission to Russia. Shortly before 19:30 hrs the same day, steaming towards the Russian port of Arkhangelsk during a Force 9 gale, Hampshire struck a mine laid by the newly launched German U-boat U-75 (commanded by Curt Beitzen) and sank west of the Orkney Islands. Recent research has set the death toll of those aboard Hampshire at 737. Only twelve survived. Amongst the dead were all ten members of his entourage. Kitchener was seen standing on the quarterdeck during the approximately twenty minutes that it took the ship to sink. His body was never recovered.

Glossary of Terms Bell ringing is a huge subject and traditionally uses many special terms. This glossary aims to clarify some of the terminology found in this volume.

Back six - in towers with more bells than there are ringers a decision is made as to which bells will be rung. The heaviest bell would be the last bell rung of the 6.

Backstroke - where the end of the rope is pulled.

‘Battle’s Over’ – Tribute: the nationwide Day of Commemorative Events marking the Centenary of the end of the First World War.

Call changes - a popular way of making the bells sound more interesting than Rounds. The Conductor will call on bells to sound in different positions so that, for example, the third and fourth bells in Rounds will swap their ringing positions and this will change the sequence of the bells sounding from the highest note to the lowest. The Conductor will call further changes in the order of the bells until eventually the bells are back to Rounds.

Change, Changes - a Change is a transition between succeeding rows – a Row being a sequence where every bell sounds once.

Chiming - causing a bell to sound by swinging it through a small arc so the clapper bounces off one side of the bell or by striking it with a hammer.

Clapper - the iron hammer, cast or forged with a ball to strike the bell.

Composer - one responsible for composing the variation of the Method. The composer is usually cited in a Peal record.

Conductor - one who conducts the performance by giving verbal instructions, to achieve the variation in Method.

Cover, Covering – examples Three tenors covering, 7,6,8 covering, 4,6,8 covering: the Cover bell rings in the same position continually at the end of every Row while the remaining bells ring a Method.

Diminishing Rounds - the Conductor calls each bell to Stand one at a time, usually in descending order from the Treble to the Tenor.

Extent(s) / exts - example ‘4 exts’ - an extent is the maximum length of a Method that can be rung before a change is duplicated.

Fired - bells are ‘fired’ by ringing them all to strike at precisely the same time. This is traditional on occasions of Celebration. In some cases they are struck almost simultaneously in ascending order i.e. rounds backwards.

Front six - in towers with more bells than there are ringers a decision is made as to which bells will be rung. These would be the bells numbered 1 to 6, i.e. the lightest of the set of bells.

Full Circle - swinging the bell through approximately 360 degrees – this is traditional English style bell ringing.

Go of the bells – term to describe how easy, or not, the bells are to ring.

Half-muffled – at certain times, such as in ringing for a funeral or a memorial service, or when “Ringing out the Old Year” it is customary to create a sombre sound by ringing the bells

487

with a Muffle such as a leather pad affixed to one side of the clapper of the bell, so that the handstrokes sound normally, but the backstrokes are muffled and less audible.

Handstroke - where the Sally (the coloured fluffy part of the rope) is pulled.

Hand and back – refers to Handstroke and Backstroke.

Inside, Inside Bell – a bell which changes its position in the order of the bells rung during a Method.

Knell – See tolling.

Joint Conductors / Jt C - the performance has more than one Conductor.

Master e.g. of a Guild or Association - generally the most senior post in the organisation.

Method / Method Ringing - an element of Change Ringing. A Change is a transition between succeeding Rows – a Row being a sequence where every bell sounds once. The ringers continually change the order the bells are rung by using a specific sequence of changes known as a Method. Because in Method-ringing the bells are made to follow a predetermined sequence of changes, Methods have to be memorised.

Mini Ring - a Ring of small bells, sometimes portable and often in private ownership.

Open / Rung open – the bells are not half-muffled or silenced in any way.

Peal – often rung for special occasions and is considered a very significant benchmark of achievement in ringing. For ringers who have rung Quarter Peals this still represents a very physically and mentally challenging exercise, as at least 5,000 Changes will be rung. Depending on the size of the bells, a Peal can take around 3 hours. Not to be confused with Peal of bells.

Peal of Bells – refers to a set or Ring of bells.

Quarter, Quarter Peal or QP – often rung for special occasions and are considered a benchmark of achievement in ringing. For ringers who have mastered a Touch often the next challenge is to ring a Quarter Peal consisting of multiple Touches where at least 1,250 changes have been rung. This demands concentration and excellent control of the bell over a prolonged period.

Ring of bells – refers to a set or Peal of bells.

Ringing Remembers - The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, https://cccbr.org.uk/ together with The Big Ideas Company, and the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, launched a campaign to recruit 1,400 new bell ringers to symbolically replace and honour those who had been lost in World War 1. The campaign was highly successful; 2,792 ringers were recruited to be part of the unique project and their aim was to ring for Armistice 2018.

Rounds - in bell ringing, the bells start and finish in Rounds where the Treble rings first, followed very quickly by the next lowest note, and the next, until the Tenor is rung. The effect is to ring a sequence of notes from the highest to the lowest. The first sequence is called the Handstroke where the Sally (the coloured fluffy part of the rope) is pulled; this is followed by the same bells being rung in the same order, on the Backstroke where the end of the rope is pulled. This is called Rounds and no matter how complicated the ringing is going to be, it always starts and finishes with Rounds.

Row - a sequence where every bell sounds once.

https://cccbr.org.uk/

488

Stand / stood - at the end of a performance, the Conductor will call Stand. The ringers stop their bells ringing at the end of their next Backstroke pull.

Stony - a derogatory name that was common in former times for towers ringing only Rounds or Call Changes when more bands didn’t ring Methods.

Strike(s) – to make the bell sound.

Tenor – the heaviest and largest bell in a performance. It has the lowest musical note of the bells.

Tolling – the tolling of a bell is the technique of sounding a single bell very slowly, with a significant gap. Tolling is often used, possibly Half-muffled, at a funeral or commemoration event. If there is more than one bell in the tower it is likely the Tenor bell will be tolled.

Touch, Touches - a piece of ringing arranged to produce a particular number of changes.

Treble - Bell 1 and usually the lightest and smallest bell in a performance. It has the highest musical note of the bells.

W & P – The Winchester and Portsmouth Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers.

Well struck – good quality rhythm when ringing.

Whole Pull and Stand - 2 consecutive strikes of the bell, Handstroke and Backstroke before Standing (stopping the bell ringing).

Working bell – a bell for which the ringer is required to have memorised a predetermined sequence of changes. See Method Ringing.
