 All Saints ringers in the wider world

Over the years many All Saints ringers have made their mark not just here in Wokingham but also in the wider world of ringing, and in the non-ringing world through their professional or other activities. You can get a flavour of this by reading about a few of the 270+ former and current members of the band .
