This peal of Superlative Surprise Major is the first in the method on this fine ring of bells, and is believed to be the first peal in any method on the bells for upwards of twenty years. It was rung as a birthday compliment to the conductor, and at the third attempt. The first attempt after excellent ringing was lost within five minutes of its completion, entirely through the illness of one of the band. The second attempt fell through owing to a change-course after three hours' ringing. At the close of the peal the ringers were most hospitably entertained by the rector, the Rev. Dacre Craven, and Mrs. Craven, who congratulated them on their well-deserved success.
