Not a Peal but worthy of record. (Webmaster)

As members of the Troyte Ringing Centre and home of the first president of the Guild of Devonshire Ringers we decided that we would attempt our first Quarter Peal on all 8 bells with only local ringers. With three covering bells our attempt to ring 1260 of Plain Bob Doubles was successful! The first Quarter Peal at Huntsham for a TRC band in the 21st Century.

Rung as part of the Guild Festival "140 bells for 140 years" celebrating the founding of the Guild of Devonshire Ringers in 1874.
