| Where: | Twyford, Hampshire at St Mary's Church |
| When: | 7th October |
| Time: | Before 9.30am and around 7pm. |
Local resident William Davis lost his way in the dark when travelling home to Twyford on October 7th – when he heard the church bells ringing he could tell that he was off-course as the peal came from an unexpected direction. William pulled up his galloping steed just in time to save them both from tumbling over a nearby precipitous quarry edge. William left a bequest in his will to fund an annual commemoration on the day – the church bells are rung and the bell-ringers have a feast.
Helpful Hints
The bells are rung twice on the day as specified in the will, once before 9.30 am and once around 7 pm – exact timings vary depending on the bellringers.

Wrong link for Twyford. Your link is for Twyford in Berkshire but the story pertains to Twyford in Hampshire.
The correct link for the Twyford bell ringers in Hampshire is https://wpbells.org/twyford/
Many thanks Simon – it’s a long way from Northumberland were I’m from and to be honest I didn’t realise that there was more than one Twyford!
Best wishes,
