[Bell Historians] Re: Peal Board restoration

[Andrew Aspland]

A Yorkshire tower decided to do the same thing with the first peal.  22 years later we managed to persuade them to get their past and present ringers who were interested in ringing a peal, together with some other ringers from the area, to ring the first peal on the bells.  Hope you don’t have to wait as long!

Wow... that's stunning work.

We had two hatchments restored a few years ago; they were in a very poor condition, badly discoloured and with extensive water damage. The finished results are equally stunning and show that even when badly damaged a skilled restorer can bring these types of artefacts back for future generations to appreciate. 

We have no peal boards at Canewdon as there have never been any peals, or even any quarter peals. We are just not good enough yet. We decided some time ago that it will be Canewdon ringers that ring the first quarter and full peal here and that may take some time yet.
