Service to mark the tenth anniversary since the restoration of the bells

A large congregation filled All Saints Church for a special service to mark the 10th Anniversary of the Restoration and Rehanging of the Tower Bells. Prior to the service the bells seemed to sing out knowing that the service was for them!!! The service was conducted by the Rev. Canon Sally Theakston with the new Curate Ed Thornley assisting. Afterwards a delicious selections of cakes were served. 

The Big Sky Dive

Two brave ringers today took part in a sponsored sky dive to raise funds for both the Friends of All Saints Church and the All Saint Swanton Morley Bell Ringers.
Aaron Hall and Fiona Joisce both said they would take part in this leap of faith all in the name of charity, so on Saturday they join over a hundred other people who were all raising funds for the charities of their choice.

Both agreed it was an experience which they will never forget. You can read Aaron's article by clicking here
