St Nectan's Parish Church, Welcombe, now has a team of bell-ringers for the first time for a number of years

The Vicar, Rev Andrew T H Jones, explained that a suggestion had been put forward at the annual parish meeting that a team should be revived and they had been fortunate in getting five or six youngsters to come forward to train under the captaincy of Mr Jack Saunders, of Lynton Farm, Welcombe, who is an experienced ringer.

Appropriately, the first peal by the new team was rung at the church's Patronal Festival on June 18th and they have rung on successive Sundays.

'We are very thrilled with it' commented the Vicar.
