The ringers of Swanton Morley took part in the age old tradition
of ringing out the old Year and ringing in the New Year as friends and family
watched on. The bells rung out for the last few minutes of 2011 before one by
one standing, fading out along with the old year leaving just the tenor to strike 12 on the stroke of midnight. To welcome the
new year all 6 bells pealed out in joyful celebration some extremely well
struck rounds and call changes. The band was 1. Mark Tweedie, 2. Sarah Seaman,
3. Claire Willetts, 4. Helen Watson, 5. Ted Conyers, 6. Aaron Hall. After
ringing the band, along with their families descended the tower to watch the
numerous fireworks being set off around the village.
