The Essex Association of Change Ringers   President: The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Chelmsford

It is with sadness that we report the death, on 12th May, at the age of 90 years, of the Revd. WJT Smith of Boreham. Revd Smith was an Associate Member and Friend of the Essex Association for very many years. He was the author of the hymn "Glad bells ring loud and clear". The funeral will take place at St Andrew’s, Boreham, at 2pm on Friday 28th May and will be followed by interment in the churchyard.

Boreham bells will be rung from 1.30pm and anyone who knew Revd. Smith is welcome to join us: the bells will be rung without muffles to celebrate his life and work. Revd. Smith will be interred in the old churchyard.
