Also, by the same band, before Evensong the same day, 1,260 Plain Bob Doubles, rung with open bells for the conductor's 15th birthday.

[RW 2808.116 Belfry Gossip: Probably the youngest band to ring on this memorable occasion was at Cranfield, Beds, where the average age of those taking part was about 15 years. Pauline Hillson, the conductor, was celebrating her 15th birthday, the treble ringer (13) was ringing his first Quarter, and David R Manton, who rang the 14-cwt fourth bell, is 12 years old.]
