The Annual Culfrey Quarter Peal.
Rung on the back three (the original three) on Michaelmas Day to mark the start of the ringing of the Culfrey Bell (the tenor) each evening at 7pm between Michaelmas Day & Lady Day, a local tradition dating back to the seventeenth century to help guide lost travellers off the heath to the safety of the village.
This quarter was rung up to 7pm, after which the Culfrey Bell (the tenor) was rung for 10 mins.
