This peal is in six parts, and is the first on the bells, also the first peal in the method by all; the first peal of Triples by all except the conductor. It is the first time the peal has been performed, and it only contains 52 bobs and 26 singles.
Messrs C W Clarke hails from Bedford; and R Dunkley, Bythorn, Hunts; the rest are from Raunds. The ringers wish to tender their thanks to the Rev F M Stopford for placing the bells at their disposal.
