The above was rung to celebrate the 45th birthday of Mr. Thomas Pickard, one of the Low Moor ringers, the ringers wishing him many happy returns of the day. This is the longest length ever rung on the bells. Illingworth hails from Liversedge; Taylor from Dewsbury; Dransfield from Brierley Lane (late of Earlsheaton) and the rest from Low Moor.

This peal was originally credited to the West Riding of Yorkshire and Yorkshire Association, but it does not currently appear in the Yorkshire Association peal records and may be attributed elsewhere.
There are two known compositions of 10176 Kent TB Major by William Sottanstall (CompLib Nos.90180 & 90181) and we can't be sure which one was rung here.
