Jean Littler (d. 2006)

Judith Pelham writes:

The older generation may remember Jean Littler (nee Herbert) who died suddenly on 31st Oct.

She rang with her husband John during their fourth year at Oxford (1957-8). They rang at the university towers and at Wolvercote and knew Dermot Roaf. Unfortunately when they got to Bristol their local church had no bells, which together with a young family severely restricted their ringing. They did introduce their five children to the art and encouraged them to ring. Jean put most of her considerable energy into the Guide Association and the Mothers Union.

A quarter peal was rung at Wimbledon, London SW19, where her daughter Judith is Tower Captain. 12 Nov 06, 1273 Grandsire Triples (Half-muffled): Susan Rance 1, John Coatsworth 2, Clara Westlake 3, Judith Pelham 4, Irene Sweet 5, Lawrence Davies (C) 6, David Pelham 7, Christopher Rance 8. For Remembrance Day. Also in memory of Marjorie Asquith, Bruce Hughes and Jean Littler. Each the parent of a member of the Wimbledon band.
