This peal is not recorded as a long length in either Snowdon's list (BN 02.0159) or Felstead's database, although the latter does record that a peal of Grandsire Caters was rung in the tower on that day. There is mention of the peal in the Ringing World (1943.0180) as follows:

'A week after the Clerkenwell peal Hints took part in a long peal of Grandsire Caters, 10,421 changes, at St. John’s, Horsleydown, with a company who called themselves the Society of Surrey Youths. George Harris was one of the band and so was Robert Muggeridge, evidently a son of Samuel Muggeridge. He rang in one or two peals, but never attained the eminence of his father and grandfather'

Details of the peal, derived principally from the Trollope Manuscript (v.10, p.467-468) have been kindly provided by Brian Woodruffe (pers. comm.)

Horsleydown (Southwark) is a lost ring, destroyed in 1940.
