Sound up! If you missed this morning's rare 3 hour bell ringing session (known as a full peal), here are a few recordings to give you a flavour. Note the difference in sound from inside and outside the church! Youngsters from Flamstead Village School also came along to witness part of it. Thank you to the professional group of bell ringers from Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire who added a lovely atmosphere to a rather gloomy day.
