Three hundred years ago Buriton church was struck by lightning and partly destroyed by fire. To mark the exact anniversary of the fateful day, Buriton's bell-ringers rang a quarter peal on the morning of Saturday 17 November 2012 and, in the afternoon, gave a public demonstration with opportunities for anyone to have a go at ringing the bells.
About fifty people turned up to learn the ropes, go like the clappers and try to avoid dropping a clanger.
According to Tower Captain David Hughes, most people got the hang of it quite quickly.
The bell ringing team are always looking for a few new recruits as, in David’s words, ‘some of us are fast approaching our sell-by dates.’
Exactly 300 years ago the church tower was struck by lightening and destroyed by fire. Buriton's bell-ringers will be marking this anniversary - and they will also be giving people a chance to have a go at ringing the bells.
On the Saturday morning the team will be ringing a quarter peal for everyone to enjoy – and in the afternoon (between 2 and 4pm) there will be a public demonstration with opportunities for anyone to pull the bellropes.
Why not have a go? You might be tempted to join the team again?
More details will be available nearer to the date of the event.
300 years ago - on this very day - the steeple on Buriton Church was struck by lightening and burnt down. Our team of bell-ringers will be ringing the bells to mark this anniversary. They will also be giving demonstrations and providing parishioners with an opportunity to have a go.
Turn up between 2pm and 4pm to learn the ropes - or drop a clanger!
Carols, mince pies and mulled wine - a perfect winter's evening
This might not be the correct place to put this note but there we go!
The Post Office is open every Friday (1.30 - 3.30pm**) in the Seward Room next to St. Mary's church. You do not have to queue (well, you do very occasionally but even that is enjoyable) and you are treated to a cup of coffee or tea and some healthy gossip.
The Post Office provides a full range of sevices: posting things, obviously; car tax; foreign currency; etc.. On occasion, local and other produce is available also: olive oil, tea towels, and pork chops, sausages, etc.. If you have anything you would like to sell, why not give it a try?
