Ah well, I thought to myself. College Youths peals before 1825? I
assume that includes both senior and junior branches ... Can't be any
of the eastern towers like Shoreditch and Stepney and Bethnal Green
because they were t'other lot ... likewise St Mary Overie and SMITF,
everyone rings there. St Brides? Well, they did lend them out
sometimes, despite supposedly keeping the trebles chained up. 41
peals - well, that must be a tower near some Minster or other, and
again, lots of other societies rang peals there. No, on reflection,
and after staring out of the window at St James Clerkenwell and
sucking my teeth, I have decided the answer must be . . .
Fulham.
How did I do?
