Pamela Pohling-Brown of Witham-on-the-Hill died on 12th November 2024.  She was found unexpectedly by her gardener.

Judith Rogers writes: Pamela learned to ring at Thurlby some years ago, taught by Terry Maddison.   She was an active ringer at Thurlby and Witham-on-the-Hill, and subsequently in Stamford (both at All Saints and St Martin’s) and Peterborough (at the Cathedral, St Mary’s and St John’s).  In addition she became very interested in ringing and ringers and as result became Editor of Campanophile – now defunct, but a forerunner to Bellboard.  She spent a lot of time ringing in North America – especially at Miami (where she and her American husband had an apartment, which they visited for several months at a time) and in Toronto.   

Andrew Christie notes: Pamela was a real good sport, gregarious and a very engaging lady with many strings to her bow. Although she lived at Witham she was a regular ringer in Peterborough, especially on a Sunday morning for ringing at the 3 city centre towers and at St Mary's practice nights. Many of us will have fond memories visiting Pamela and enjoying tea in her beautiful garden after ringing at her neighbouring towers. Although she was modest with her talents she was an asset to ringing on both sides of the pond.
