Found to be false

This peal is believed to have been false. The 3rd lead of the 7th course in the 1st part (Fulbeck) is false against the 3rd lead of the 4th course in the 4th part (Hackington) in the rows with the treble in 8ths. Unsure when it was first detected to be false - possibly not until the 1990s. Formally retracted in RW 4 Aug 2023, Issue 5858 p. 769.
