TEN YEARS AGO: Hundreds turn out as bells ring from Boston village church for first time in years

The bells rang from Benington’s church for the first time in eight years 10 years ago.

More than 500 people turned out to a Victorian-themed open day at All Saints Church, where visitors could come in and have their say about how it would be used in future.
