[Bell Historians] Peals on Six Bells

[Chris Pickford]

The chronology of methods and the evolution of method names really isn't 
my thing (at all!), but I do seem to recall that sorting it out and 
charting changes in names over time was one of the things that got Cyril 
Wratten interested in his newspaper researches. His interest definitely 
stemmed from ringing theory initially, even if he became absorbed in the 
history for its own interest later on. I wonder if his papers include 
anything that would answer some of the queries posed in this string 
about what methods were rung in 1737, and when the current versions 
(Worcester etc) evolved?

Might be worth trying Alan Glover, or perhaps John Eisel (who is still 
working on the Wratten newspaper stuff) may know
