 PEALS

 

Compiled by

Malcolm S Loveday,

Tower Captain,

February 2005


 

Analysis of Peals

a)   Notable Peals

Notable peals are a) number 10, Grandsire Triples, rung in 1920, being the first peal rung by a local band, and b) number 24, rung in 1988, Chertsey Surprise Major which is a very difficult surprise major method. Peal number 8, rung in 1914, is also worthy of note since it was one of four peals rung in a single day by the same band.

In addition to the tower bell peals, it is known that at least one hand bell peal has been rung in Chertsey ( see page 10 ) .

b)     Leading Peal Ringers

The following have rung four or more peals on the bells.

Acknowledgement

I am grateful to John Eisel, the Librarian of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers for supplying details of peal number 9, since the Guildford Guild Library does not have Ringing Worlds for the years 1916 –1921.
