The first peal of the autumn at the tower was attempted yesterday evening to mark Remembrance Sunday.

Unfortunately, the rope on the tenor bell broke towards the end of the peal (after 2 hours 35 minutes of ringing and with an estimated 5 minutes to completion!) thus ending the attempt and proving that even with the best preparation, such feats are not a foregone conclusion!

Hopefully we will have a new rope in situ ready for the nextpeal attempt on December 18th.
