At Painswick, in the County of Glocester, was rung by the Society of Ringers there, on the 18th of April, a Peal of Grandsire-Cators, consisting of 12006 Changes in seven Hours and fifty five Minutes, which is thought by many good Judges (who came there from Places on Purpose to hear it) to surpass any prior Performance in that Art.
