Sadly Owen Webster, one time Rolvenden ringer who moved to Essex and became a member of the Waltham Abbey band, passed away on Friday 27th July following a hard-fought battle with cancer. In later life he moved back to this part of the world however his health declined to the point where he could no longer ring – but he enjoyed listening to quarters rung for his 70th birthday a few months ago. Rod Lebon says ‘a fine ringer and engaging personality and wit’.
