Saturday 27th February 2016 – 10.00am – 4.30pm
Wellesbourne Church Centre
Ringing has a long heritage. It has survived centuries of social upheaval, with modern ringing more advanced than our predecessors might have dreamt. But ringing also faces major challenges for the future. What lessons can we learn from our history to helpus face the future?
The study of history itself is changing thanks to new techniques and technology. But is it changing enough or has it changed too much? What will the future of ringing history look like? What challenges will future ringing historians face?
Come to this thought-provoking day, where these ideas and more will be explored with the help of three guest speakers and open discussion.
Richard Johnston
Richard will talk about: ' Ringing's future - sacred or secular' – reviewing the legacy of Belfry Reform. Richard is a member of the Exeter Cathedral Society and rings method and Devon style call changes.
David Jones
David will talk about: 'Contrasting modern and historical issues in ringing' – and also about a possible place for ringing in academic history. David is master of the Chester Diocesan Guild.
Steve Coleman
