Did You Know?

The Twyford church in Hampshire, UK has a tradition of ringing its bells every year on October 7. The origin of this tradition goes back to the 18th Century when a local resident called William David became lost in heavy fog while riding home at night. 

Much to his luck, he heard the church bells toll and from this, he managed to find his way home. As a form of thanks, he left some money to the church when he died so that the church could continue to ring their bells on October 7 every year, just in case there were any other lost travelers.
