Who is Hezekiah Lavender from The Nine Tailors: Changes Rung on an Old Theme in Two Short Touches and Two Full Peals and what is their importance? The_Nine_Tailors English & Literature Hezekiah Lavender | The Nine Tailors: Changes Rung on an Old Theme in Two Short Touches and Two Full Peals

Hezekiah Lavender is an elderly and very pious man who is responsible for ringing Tailor Paul, and has done so for the past sixty years (and intends to continue for another twenty years if he lives that long). He is the retired sexton of the parish and seems to be the leader of the bell-ringers. He is rather crusty and old-fashioned, and tends to quote scripture at every possible opportunity - he even preaches to Lord Peter. He shows a slight lack of patience with the bungling of Wally Pratt.
