Bellringers commemorate

bellringers

Worth Bellringers were among those taking part in national events on Sunday 12th March to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the H.M. Submarine E49 off the Shetland Islands.

Walter Herbert George Hopkins served on HMS E49 and died with the rest of the crew on 12th March 1917 when the submarine hit a mine laid by a German U-Boat.

Walter was 32 and was the son of the late George and Emma Hopkins. His brother, Roger, lived at 1 New Street, Three Bridges.  He is remembered on Portsmouth Naval Memorial and on the Worth War Memorial.

Worth Bellringers rang a quarter peal in memory of Walter, as they continue in their duties commemorating all those on the Worth War Memorial.

Choir Gears Up for Choral Evensong

Choirs and Music

We’d love you to come along to Choral Evensong this Sunday, 26 February at 6.30pm.  Sung by Worth Choir and Directed by Alex Hiam, music will include
Preces and Responses by William Byrd, Canticles in D Minor by Walmisley, and the anthem “A Litany” by William Walton.

If you are not accustomed to this traditional service, it is one that has been sung regularly in Church since the Sixteenth Century, and was based on the Services held daily in the medieval church.  It’s the high proportion of music in Evensong which distinguishes it from other church services.
It is free to come to hear its choral music, performed live and to a high standard and The Guardian calls Evensong “One of England’s richest heritages – a living musical tradition that costs nothing to experience live.” –
