Links to Sherwood Youths' peals and other significant performances are shown below.
Although all the peals from the peal book have been entered as well as those imported
from Pealbase notifications still arrive about missing peals especially handbell
records and the exercise should be considered an on-going "work-in-progress".
This work entailed entering all the
performances from the peal book which covers the period 1761-1971 into
Philip Saddleton's Pealbook software. The whereabouts of the Society's records
from 1972 through to 2000 is unknown. Accordingly the information has been
supplied from Andrew Craddock's Pealbase and imported into the Pealbook software.
It is not known who was responsible for entering all the early peals into the
Society's peal book. It precedes work done by George Dawson.
Attempts have been made to show the correct weights for the main Nottingham towers.
At the time of writing the following work still needs doing:
- Checking all entries for the 18th & 19th century and if possible rectifying any
name anomalies
- Resolving those performances where a ? is entered
If you are able to supply any information please email me.
Notes:
Where a ringer is referred to as Jnr in the peal book the name of
the "Snr" has not been changed even though it subsequently shows "Snr" in the
peal book. Similarly "Jnr" is used even when it is apparent that the "Snr" is
no longer ringing. Some peals only use the Initial of the ringer, others use a
full name - where it appears obvious the full name is used.
Where the name of the tower has changed the current one is used and the older
name is detailed in the footnotes.
Additional comments or notes are shown in the footnotes as: [Ed - xxxx]
There are some interesting peals and footnotes - enjoy reading them.
