Bellringing

Dear Readers,  Despite my many pleadings, R.A.Spratt continues to be involved in the hobby of bellringing (she can be a very willful author).  As a result she has insisted on having bellringing information featured on her website.  If you are not a bellringer, and I hope for your sake that you are not, then feel free to ignore this section.  It will feature bellringing jargon, squiggly diagrams and the most confusing array of numbers you will ever see outside of a maths text book.
Yours Concernedly, Nanny Piggins.

Thomas Perrins was kind enough to compose this method and dedicate it to Nanny Piggins.
