I was very pleased to have rung in the first quarter of St Clement's College Bob Minor at St Clement's back in 2022. A lovely ring of bells - a valuable asset to ringing in Cambridge.

What were they ringing for a wedding or something because they sometimes do the bell ringing when there's a wedding going on in the church it's not just Sunday services when they ring the bells after 10:00 in the morning and then until 11:00 it's not just that so is it a wedding?
