Pauline Middleton learnt to ring at Pytchley in 1999 for the millennium and rang until 2020 when Covid struck. She was Tower Contact for most of that time and rang one quarter peal on the treble. Pauline was a valued member of the band and although she decided not to come back to regular ringing after Covid restrictions were lifted, she kept in touch with us all as Church Warden and rang for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. She passed away on the 11th August. Her funeral is at 2pm on Thursday, 7th September, at Pytchley. The family have requested the tenor to be tolled before the service and a quarter peal rung afterwards.
