The above is the longest ever rung in Suffolk, in any method. It is also worthy of notice that the average age of the company was only 21 years, as well as being all single men. Also that one of the ringers was only 17 years old. And great credit is due to the tenor man for the able way in which he rang his bell, he being only 20 years old. Messrs. Motts and Tillett are from Ipswich; the rest belong to the local company.
