Church Bell Book Quest and a Special Quarter Peal on 12th May

Leave a reply

The Book Quest

A message from Sarah Scotter in an quest to unearth any of these rare little treasures:

‘These rare little books are very useful to anyone learning to ring church bells.  They were first published in 1982 by a local ringer, Mrs Pam Copson.  They measure 10cm x 15cm, so could be squirrelled away at the back of a drawer, as this was when I found it.  If anyone reading this comes across one in their home and it is no longer needed, please let me know, and I will come and collect it’.
