Older Persons Advocate Project As part of the Inner City Cluster of
churches within Portsmouth Deanery we are supporting this project by

we might do this more effectively. Jill is based at All Saints’ Church in the
city centre but you will see her from time to time at the Cathedral. Email
[email protected], phone number 07710 394351.

Bells The peal on Saturday will be rung by members of The Royal Society
of Cumberland Youths (est. 1747) and along with its rival, The Ancient
Society of College Youths, one of the oldest ringing societies still in
existence. The principle to be rung is called Stedman Cinques, rung on
eleven working bells with the tenor (heaviest) bell ringing at the end of each
change creating a rhythmical effect. When rung well Stedman can be very
rewarding to ring and listen to, although it requires a high level of
concentration.
