ST DENYS CHURCH
THE CENTENARY STRIKING COMPETITION
St Denys Church, was selected by the Peterborough Diocesan Guild of Bellringers to host part of the Centenary Striking Competition on Saturday 13th April. Twenty teams from across the diocese competed at Cold Ashby and Guilsborough for the Guild Trophy and the honour of being the best ringing team in the area. Each team had to ring a test piece of changes and this was marked by judges on the number of errors made. The ringing was followed by tea at the Memorial Hall, the announcement of the results and the presentation to the winners.
It was so lovely to hear the church bells being rung and to hear the fabulous feedback about our church and the Memorial Hall. We are so glad that it all went so well and was such an enjoyable occasion for all. Thank you for choosing Cold Ashby to host the event.
The winning teams were Pattishall and Towcester.
