I was in the Library this week and found the peal. Attached is a photograph of the relevant page.

2 of that band rang a peal at Sonning marking I assume the 100th anniversary of the College Youths winning the cup.

Ancient Society of College Youths 
Sonning on Thames, Berkshire 
St Andrew 
Saturday, 4 August 1883 in 3.07 (21) 
5040 Grandsire Triples 
Holt's Original 
Composed by Holt 
1J R Howarth 
2James Pettitt (C) 
3G Nash 
4Mathew A Wood 
5William Greenleaf 
6J Martin Routh esq 
7William Newell 
8George Payne 
Ringers of 1 to 5 are from London, 6th from Tilehurst, 7th from Reading and Tenor from Sonning

When you next have the book may I please know the full name of J R Howarth and G Nash ?. This peal is in a frame behind the tenor. A peal was attempted I believe in 1983 but failed when the 5th rope broke.

Thank you,

David
