The BBC website today has this item 
<https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-64718027> about ringing 
recruitment in Ipswich. In the piece is a picture of a publicity board 
that displays a claim that St Clement's bells are the oldest set of five 
bells anywhere. This is obviously incorrect as they are easily beaten by 
St Botolph the Great in London; however I am wondering if perhaps it 
could be a simple error and should refer to them being the oldest six. I 
can't recall where the oldest six is so someone please remind me.

Thanks.

Ted
