The BBC website today has this item
<https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-64718027> about ringing
recruitment in Ipswich. In the piece is a picture of a publicity board
that displays a claim that St Clement's bells are the oldest set of five
bells anywhere. This is obviously incorrect as they are easily beaten by
St Botolph the Great in London; however I am wondering if perhaps it
could be a simple error and should refer to them being the oldest six. I
can't recall where the oldest six is so someone please remind me.
Thanks.
Ted
