In December 2007 the church held a Festival of Christmas Trees. Over 30 trees were
in the church and they were all decorated by various groups and individuals.
One of the trees was decorated by the bellringers. Pictures of all the trees and more details can be
found on the Church website
This is the tree which was decorated by the bellringers.
It was voted the 8th most popular tree by visitors.
A set of chimes was hung from the tree. They were numbered and when struck in order played "
Ding Dong Merrily on High". Many visitors found this interactive feature intriguing.
The ringers who were involved in decorating the tree.

At the end of the festival the decorations had to be taken off the tree and returned to their rightful
owners. This was done by Norman Bramall, Stephen Dann and Tony Jackson.
The clapper of the tenor had broken a few weeks before the festival and these three became very adept at
taking the clapper out and putting it back into the bell when it had been repaired.
