As those attending the Thanksgiving Service for Vera’s life approached the church, they were aware of the tolling of the tenor bell by Philip Kinsman, the Tower Captain, and local authority on all matters campanological. He explained some of the history of tolling before a funeral - and, in particular, why he was striking the bell 108 times on this occasion.
