Counted Jointly. First in the method for all.
Rung on the old five bells to mark the 200th anniversary of three Henlow ringers getting very drunk in the Five Bells pub on 12th March 1819 and then trying to break into the church to ring the bells. They were arrested and held in Bedford Prison until the Easter Quarter Sessions, where they were acquitted of Riotous Assembly.
