The book is the result of much new research by Lester Yeo who continues the
history the Guild to the present day, and includes John Scott’s original
text unaltered, but supplemented by detailed footnotes. It also includes new
biographical notes on many of the leading figures in the early history of
the Guild, updated lists of Guild Officers and notable peals and an index.
Lester gave an entertaining presentation about some of the results of his
research at a Guild meeting at Withycombe Raleigh in October. A link to a
YouTube video of his talk along with the accompanying slides can also be
