It’s the 200th anniversary for this peal, rang on February 24 1823! It is also the third oldest pealboard in the tower! I love the old-fashioned spelling of complete, Grandsire and the abbreviations of names.

Just found some of these ringers listed as Ancient Society of College Youths ringers. Fascinating stuff! If any of our readers has any history about any of the ringers from this peal/tower or is related to them and ringing too, do get in touch!
