Visiting band Peal success

27/7/2026

If you heard the bells ring for around 3 hours you would have heard a visiting band ring a very nicely struck peal of seven different methods. We have not had a peal rung on our bells for over ten years.5040 Surprise Minor7M: extent each Rossendale, Stamford, London, Wells, Ipswich, Bourne, Cambridge

Local ringer scores first peal

25/7/2015

Congratulations to Julie on scoring her first peal at the first attempt. A very well rung peal was completed this morning with very few small errors being made. Several local non ringing people have commented how nice the bells sounded and a couple of ringers have also complimented the peal for its striking too. See peal details for more information.

A visiting peal band rang a peal today and then came and rang on the Whitacre Heath campanile. Full details are in the peal records section. The band rang a nice course of plain bob minor on the mini ring.

Peal Attempt

6/11/2012

Today we had a visiting band attempting to ring a peal. This involved ringing 5040 changes without a break and usually takes about 2 hours 40 mins non stop. It is quite an achievement to ring a peal and this was the second attempt by this band to achieve a peal as the last attempt here in the Spring was lost after an error, rather too near the end for comfort!
The details of the peal were as follows.
