My earliest known paternal ancestors were buried in this parish church in Swettenham, Cheshire in the 1700s. This video was taken outside the church and around the graveyard with a special focus on the cluster of three flat graves near the church door that belong to my family.

Stockton Heath: Cheshire's New Ten!
I'm back! Nearly two years away... and something very special...
Cheshire (and the world) have a brand new ring of ten bells now ringable at Stockton Heath, just south of Warrington, weighing in at 16-3-6 and tuned to E. The back eight bells come from Bollington (also in Cheshire), cast in 1880, but the front two were cast in 2015 due to a very generous donation. The eight were refurbished and all ten tuned and hung by John Taylor and Co. of Loughborough and are now ringing out across the village (though quietly due to extensive sound control). All the locals are a brand new band, but they are well supported by nearby towers (Daresbury, Runcorn, Weaverham, Hartford and Grappenhall to name a few).
They go well, handle their weight, and there are plans to make them sound better in the ringing room as at the moment they are far too loud, especially when the striking isn't perfect.
The first part of the film was shot during the first open ringing ever on the bells, the Mid-Cheshire Branch of the Chester Diocesan Guild's AGM in December 2016, and features Plain Hunt on 9 and then Stedman Caters. The second part, in the belfry, was shot a week later at the Christmas Festival where I tied the seventh for silent demonstration to visitors, and could capture some unique footage of the bell being rung up from down whilst close but at a safe distance of course.
This may not be the start of many more videos, but some may begin to pop up now I'm in a new area of the country...
*TRIVIA* My brother's first job in his new role at Taylors was the clappers for this installation so any breakages can be blamed on him!

Places to see in ( Kingswinford - UK )
Kingswinford is a suburban area of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley, in the West Midlands, England. In 2001, its population was 25,808, falling to 25,191 at the 2011 Census. Historically a part of Staffordshire, Kingswinford is mentioned in the Domesday Book its name relates to a ford for the King's swine (Kingswin(e)ford) - Latin Swinford Regis. The ancient parish of Kingswinford spanned Wordsley, Brierley Hill and Quarry Bank. The parishes of Kingswinford and Amblecote formed the Kingswinford rural district in 1894. It gave its name to the Kingswinford Parliament constituency from 1885 until 1950. However, Amblecote became an urban district in 1898, leaving Kingswinford one of a minority of single-parish rural districts in England.
The current economic focus of Kingswinford is tourism, education and housing for commuters. Positioned at the western edge of the West Midlands Urban Area it borders on a rural area extending past the River Severn; but its position at the edge of the Black Country and its long standing in the area means it has had significant industrial influence in the past.
Kingswinford is a part of the West Midlands metropolitan county, West Midlands conurbation, and the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley. It was historically a rural district in Staffordshire, but in 1933 it was divided between Seisdon in the north and Brierley Hill in the south. Kingswinford is situated on the edge of the conurbation and to the north, east and south lie other suburban areas of the Black Country. It was linked by rail to Oxley, and the colliery at Baggeridge. However, the border to the west is green belt, which stretches for many miles through Shropshire, beyond the Severn Valley and into Wales. The Kingswinford DY6 postal district covers the entirety of Kingswinford and Wall Heath as well as nearby rural areas such as Hinksford and Ashwood.
From 1894 to 1938, Kingswinford was the centre of Kingswinford Rural District Council. It was then part of Brierley Hill Urban District Council and since 1966 has been controlled by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. It now forms part of the DY6 postal district. Recent house building, commencing in the 1950s and 1960s, has largely destroyed the original rural character of Kingswinford, the result being the complete absorption of the former village into the large urban area that is the Dudley borough. This turn of events is lamented by some but has also brought considerable economic wealth into the area through the arrival of upmarket housing estates. Until its closure in 2012, Kingswinford was home to food retailer Julian Graves' head office and distribution centre.
Kingswinford has many local shops in the town centre, along with five public houses and bars. Once a town centre with a cinema, modern 1960s precinct and local quality butcher's, baker's and grocer's, it saw decline in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Many locals attribute this to the opening of Merry Hill Shopping Centre. Unlike Dudley town centre, Kingswinford has brought many locals back to the town centre by concentrating on quality shops and attractions. Kingswinford town centre doesn't just attract locals, however. Due to its location and major road networks that pass through, many people who use the A491 road, stop in Kingswinford.
Broadfield House Glass Museum, Compton Drive, was housed in a splendid grade II listed building set in its own grounds and located in the historic Stourbridge Glass Quarter. It had a notable collection of British glass, much of it made locally, from historic 18th century pieces to contemporary works from Britain's leading glass artists. The museum eventually closed in September 30, 2015. A programme of lectures and events, and support for the work of the glass museum is organised by the friends of Broadfield House Glass Museum.
Despite its roots as a small village, Kingswinford is now better described as a dormitory town to Dudley, containing as it does a large number of commuting communities, small industrial businesses and several schools.

Stedman Caters - St Peter's Brighton
The first touch of Stedman Caters on the bells after a prolonged period (2 years) of no ringing whilst restoration has been taking place on the tower.
Having faced certain closure ten years ago, the church is now thriving thanks to intervention from Holy Trinity, Brompton. Structural repairs are also taking place to ensure the continued survival of this prominent landmark.
St Peter's houses a ring of ten bells, these being cast by Mears and Stainbank of Whitechapel in 1914. The tenor weighs 25cwt and is tuned to D.
