[Bell Historians] Peals on Six Bells

[Chris Pickford]

Quite a number of five- and six-bell peals were rung in the C18th - try 
looking at Morris "History and Art" and/or at Cyril Wratten's collection 
of newspaper reports in John Eisel's excellent 2010 edition entitled 
"Order and Disorder in the Eighteenth Century: Newspaper extracts about 
Church Bells and Bellringing"

I hesitate to pick out the earliest examples without further delving! 
Also, there are still some areas where the C18 newspapers haven't been 
researched - and even then there will be some holes in the map (no 
newspapers, or no reporting of ringing performances)
