Penny Sharpe

Penny learnt to ring in 1989 at St John's Brisbane and was taught by local ringer Reg Toze. She was introduced to ringing by a friend when she went along to watch one evening and ended up hooked by the end of the practice! Since then she has rung close to 600 peals.

Penny was tower captain at St Mary's cathedral, Sydney for two years before moving to London where she has lived for 12 years. She joined the Cumberlands in 1997 and was Assistant Secretary from 2002 to 2007 and Secretary from 2009 to 2011. She was tower captain at St Martin in the Fields for two years from 2005.

Penny worked as a professional singer before moving to London and has performed in the Sydney Opera House and on international tours. She now works as a research excutive for GfK NOP in Blackfriars and sings at St Giles, Cripplegate.

What does the Honorary Librarian do?

The Society's small library holds a number of books and records of historical interest. The most valuable are in the care of the City of London's Guildhall Library. The general collection is housed at St Martin in the Fields. The Librarian keeps the library catalogue up to date, controls access, and deals with correspondence and enquiries about the library.
