IN MEMORY OF THE DEAD.
On Saturday last, at Ranmore Church, Sheffield, a quarter-peal of
Double Norwich Major was rung in 47 mins.,
This was rung with half-muffled clappers
(subsequent to the failure of an attempt for a peal of Grandsire Triples by the same band), previous to the dedication by the Lord Bishop ot Sheffield of a memorial cross and tablet,
in honoured memory of the 60 men of Ranmoor,
who laid down their lives for their country in the great war.
Several well-struck touchs of Stedman Triples were also brought round
before and after the dedication, in which
Messrs. J. Holman, R. W. Collier (T. O’Hara), and A. Haynes also took part.
