Peal Recorder's Notes.
This peal did not appear in the 1899 or subsequent Guild Reports but is shown in the Central Council's "Felstead" database. It was first published in "Bell News" August 19, 1899, p. 151 as a Hereford Diocesan Guild Peal and was finally included in the Guild's records on 10.01.2010. Believed to be the first peal on the bells, though not claimed as such. All the band members were members at Eastnor at the time.
This peal included a first peal ringer on bells 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6.
