</span></blockquote>Irrespective of whether you believe the 1690 peal happened, <br>
the next record lengths in the City are:<br>
<br>
5,060 on Tue 19 Jan 1724 (NS):<br>
Grandsire Cinques by the College Youths at St Brides.<br>
Cond. Matthew East.<br>
<br>
5,280 on Sat 26 Feb 1726 (NS):<br>
Plain Bob Max by the College Youths at St Brides.<br>
Cond. Benjamin Annable.<br>
<br>
6,204 on Mon 24 Nov 1729:<br>
Grandsire Cinques by the London Scholars at Cornhill.<br>
"The first compleat peal of six thousand cinques."<br>
Rung by thirteen ringers plus two 'asssistants'.<br>
Cond. not recorded.<br>
<br>
7,018 in 5h 19m on Mon 14 Feb 1732 (NS):<br>
Grandsire Cinques by the College Youths at Cornhill.<br>
"Being the longest peal that had been rang on 12 bells."<br>
Rung by fourteen ringers.<br>
Cond. Benjamin Annable.<br>
<br>
7,040 in 5h 27m on Fri 22 Feb 1734 (NS?):<br>
Grandsire Cinques by the City Scholars at Cornhill.<br>
"Being the greatest performance of the kind ever known."<br>
Band not known.<br>
<br>
After that, I'm less certain, but I think there's a <br>
century's gap and then:<br>
<br>
7,524 on Mon 6 Jan 1851:<br>
Stedman Cinques by the College Youths at Cripplegate.<br>
<br>
8,580 on Sat 27 Apr 1861:<br>
Stedman Cinques by the College Youths at Cornhill.<br>
<br>
Then I think there's another century-long gap and then:<br>
<br>
11,111 in 8h 1m on Sun 8 May 1988:<br>
Stedman Cinques by the College Youths at Bow.<br>
Cond. David House.<br>
<br>
13,579 in 9h 19m on Mon 17 Apr 2006:<br>
Stedman Cinques by the College Youths at Cripplegate.<br>
Cond. Paul Mounsey.<br>
<br>
It'll be a bit of a shame to see a peal on a light eight <br>
next on the list :-)<br>
