The large block of the peal was rung out of course, so as to have the musical changes on the open stroke. Rung as a last tribute of respect to the late Bishop Mackarness, who graduated from this college. This is the first muffled peal ever rung on this noble peal of bells, the effect of which was very grand. J. Waghorn hails from Tottenham.
