This is the longest peal on these bells, also by all the above ringers, and is the longest yet rung by a band of the Essex Association. It is also supposed to be the longest rung in the county in this method, and was rung at the first attempt, Messrs. Slater, Wells and Garwood hail from Glemsford; Howell and Sillitoe from Sudbury; the rest are local men. The ringers were kindly entertained by the Rev. J.F. Foster and Mr. D. Ward to refreshments after the peal for which they beg to return thanks. W. Howell was elected a member of the Association previous to starting for the peal.
