A TEAM of bell ringers has won a coveted award.

The ringers from Kingsteignton regularly play at All Saints Church in Combeinteignhead.

Now they have triumphed by winning the South Devon qualifier, the George Facey Shield.

All Saints churchwarden Clare Wreford said: ‘James Grant and his ringers have supported All Saints Church for the last six years.

T’hey play at the Church every service and on special services such as at Christmas, Easter, harvest festival as well as for weddings and funerals.

‘It is an absolute pleasure and honour to have been approached by James who requested to play at our church initially and they have truly kept our church alive with their amazing ringing that brings joy to all.

‘Well done James and your band of ringers and thank you.’
