Some of you probably never knew Roger. I first met Roger in the 1960s in Hampshire where he lived and it was the next door county for me. He moved to the US in the late 1970s, and after I moved here in 1980 we rang a number of peals together.

Dear All,

I'm sorry to pass on the news that Roger Savory died peacefully in his sleep on Friday. He was 90. Roger was a big contributor to helping build a change ringing band when the Trinity bells were installed in 2006, and he was a good friend to many in the band at that time. He attended regularly until about 2013, after which he could no longer manage the stairs. Roger was an active and very accomplished ringer for many decades, both in North America and earlier in the UK, and he rang just over 800 peals.

His daughter Rachel will send memorial service details once these are known, though of course in the current circumstances this may not be able to take place for a while. I'll pass them on when I receive them.

Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

Regards

Tim
