[Bell Historians] St Magnus, Lower Thames Street

[LOVE, Dickon]

"I was browsing this page on Dickon's website earlier, as you do, and 
was reminded of an article or letter in the RW some while ago 
recounting the ringing of the first peal of Spliced Surprise Royal at 
St Magnus sometime in the 1930s. As I recollect, the writer took part 
in the peal, and said that the band had not realised the importance 
of the peal until afterwards.

I think a mention of this peal on the 'Bells of London' page would be 
of interest."

I knew about the peal and am surprised that I *didn't* mention it. You are
quite right ... it should be added. The first peal of Middlesex Royal was
also rung there. At the time it was considered too complicated a method to
be rung, but it was rung at the first attempt!

>From Felstead:
25th July 1931 - Spliced S Royal (3m)
20th Nov 1922 - Middlesex Royal
