Title
Bell Ringers in St. Michael's
Description
Walter Ford was a member of the Norwich Diocesan Association of Bellringers for 60 years and Reepham's tower captain from 1944. Walter began ringing when he was 15. He lived long enough to see the re-hanging & addition of two more bells (1977-1979) but was prevented by ill-health from ringing on them. He rang 59 peals for the Association of which 11 were on hand-bells.
