Quarter Peal Review, 2024

595 quarter peals were recorded for the Guild in 2024 which is an increase of 145 on the total achieved in 2023, and the highest ever rung in a single year for the Guild. 94 of these were rung on handbells, mostly driven by prolific activity of the two bands at Hamworthy and Elizabeth College. On tower bells there were several bands ringing regular quarters across the branches ranging from Doubles (40% of the total) to Maximus.
