We are very sorry to learn of the recent deaths of David Elliott of Cardington and Peter Newing of Eastnor.
David Elliott joined the Guild in 2001 and was the long-standing Tower Captain at Cardington for over 10 years. David also served as Church Stretton District treasurer from 2011 to 2022, we remember his service to the Guild with gratitude. Peter passed away peacefully at home.
The Rev. Dr. Peter Newing joined the guild in 1969 and remained a member until 1974. He rejoined in 2002 and he only recently retired from ringing. Peter served as Associate Priest at Bromsberrow from 2000-2010 and was well known in the area. Peter was a generous benefactor and many local ringing projects benefitted from his donations.
Our thoughts are with their families. With their families’ agreement, we will update with funeral details when they become available.
