The band is the same as in the attempt at Brentwood on Easter Monday, and were stationed at the same bells. On that occasion the treble rope broke after ringing 13,072 changes in 8 hrs 15 mins. Brentwood tenor is 19 3/4 cwt, and this fact will account for the difference in the time. This is the first time the extent with the tenors together has been rung in this method.
