My father was born in Bures and when young I spent some of my school
holidays, we all came to Australia in 1959. My fathers name name was
Merlyn Stebbing and his Uncle was Arthur Stebbing who was also verger
of St Mary's Church,
I still keep in contact with Dulcie Cardy who I knew as a child as her
Family lived next door to my Uncle along the Colchester Road.

Husband was Arthur Stebbing snr , Dad was Merlyn Arthur William Stebbing,
Arthur, William, and my dad were bell ringers in the church. When I
visited in 2014 I met a man who knew Arthur who had rung bells with
his father. Arthur was my great Uncle and he was verger at the church
for many years.
