Visitors’ Book

e

for the words of others can bring hope and encourage

The entries in our Visitors’ Book are divided into several categories.   By far the largest is the category devoted to all those who wrote to us in June 2008 about bells.   

A resident of Aldeburgh had complained to Suffolk Coastal District Council about the monthly Peal attempts.   On the second Sunday of each month in the year, apart from August, the bell-ringers attempt to ring a Peal.   A Peal is defined as being a minimum of 5,000 changes, which effectively means 5,000 different notes.   It takes about three hours to ring a Peal successfully and involves immense concentration.

If you would like to read more about Peals, our bells or our bell-ringers, please follow the relevant link and you will be taken to that page in our site.

We hope to post a “Vicar’s blog” giving an accurate and up to date explanation of how Aldeburgh Parish Church came to feature so much in local, national and international media.   At that point a link will be placed on this page.

We are extremely grateful to the many people who sent emails of support (and a few who didn’t!).   The following pages are the entries posted in  our Visitors’ Book and emails sent to various email addresses on our site.   A few comments were made to our entry on A Church Near You and forwarded to us, but that will be made clear in the entries by the abbreviation ACNY.

Occasionally messages have been edited, mainly for content.      

Comments on bells will be added in batches!
