Joseph Prescott was my GGFather and lived in Taylor's Lane, Ince. He was a famous Bell Ringer in his time and performed in Churches in the local area as Campanologists' Magazines record. There is a plaque in the belfry of St Peter's in Hindley noting that he acted as conductor of a peel in 1885. An adjacent plaque records the death of his son, Edmund, in 1901 and of a commemorative peel made by his fellow ringers. Edmund was killed in a mining accident and is buried next to his father.
