Quarter Peal at High Offley

The main purpose of our practices on a Tuesday evening is so that we get to a good standard to ring for Sunday Service.  However bell ringing can become much more than that, and ringers often integrate with other towers and ringing within the local area.

I often say that bell ringing takes you to some lovely remote villages and on Sunday 23rd July I was lucky enough to be ask to go a ring a quarter peal at High Offley.  There are 5 bells there and so there is a maximum capability to ring 120 changes on them.  To ring a quarter peal the bell ringers need to ring 10 and half extents (10.5 x 120 = 1260) 1260 is the minimum length for a quarter.

The bell ringers were:

1Warren Griffiths

2Christopher Adams

3Rosemary E Wright

4Duncan Davis

5Trevor Lock (C)

Quarter Peal of Single Court Place Minimus

On Friday 7th July 2023 the bell ringers performed a Quarter peal (1272 Changes) of Single Court Place Minimus

The Bell Ringers were:

1. Trevor Lock (C)

2. Gill Smith (from Dilhorne)

3.  Karen Powell

4. David Crump (from Swynnerton)

5. Samuel Weaver

It was rung as a belated 10th birthday wish to Seren Jenkins (Jenny Beech's Grandaughter) and Wedding Anniversary to Mervyn and Jocelyne Lock (Trevor's Parents)

Ringing quarter peals give the bell ringers good quality time on the 'end of the rope' giving them 45 minutes on non-stop ringing.

It was Gill's first quarter peal, Karen's first quarter inside and Samuel's first quarter tenoring to minimus.

Well done everyone and a big Thanks to David and Gill whoc came and helped us.

The performance was sent to BellBoard and be viewed with this link: https://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/view.php?id=1644154
