I am Chair of the Newnham Bells Restoration Group, which is launching an appeal to guarantee the future of bell ringing in this village, which is rich in history, beauty and tradition.
We have made a flying start:
1. The St Peter’s Church Bell Ringers already had a savings fund of £2000
2 The Gloucestershire and Forest of dean Branches have pledged £20,000
3. Brightlands School closed in 1994 but the Old Brightlandsians Association has donated £2,000 in support of the Church and village in which the pupils spent their formative years.
