These are the known members of the Guild whose service was marked by their election as a Life Honorary Member.
The title was first written into the rules in 1974 to be an award for outstanding services to the Guild and was by election at the AGM on the proposition of either the Guild Management Committee or of a Branch. From 1951 the Annual Report prints a list of LHMs but rarely are the elections mentioned in the report. It appears that it was awarded upon payment from important people in the diocese and to retiring officers, including non-ringing clerics. Please advise the webmaster of further information.
