bell ringer<br />
Alan Padgett has been researching the history of the bells<br />
at St. Michaels for the Bell Restoration project. Along the<br />
way he has discovered fascinating information about the<br />
bells, bellringers, Church wardens and rebellious builders,<br />
putting it together in a book, ‘Tales from the Tower’, which<br />
also includes a brief history of the art of English bell ringing<br />
over the past 600 years.<br />
<strong>2022</strong> marks the 80 th anniversary of the death of Eric<br />
Ravilious, at the age of 39. He was a prolific painter,<br />
wood engraver, book illustrator and designer. He became<br />
an official war artist and his penultimate assignment<br />
was at RAF Sawbridgeworth in the summer of 1942.<br />
