Towcester, Northamptonshire

12 bells 23-1-16 in E

Towcester originally had a ring of six dating from 1725. These were replaced in 1989 with the current twelve. The back eight came from Christ Church Todmorden and were cast in 1897, these were augmented to twelve with four new bells, part of the inscription on the treble reads "We rang sir and kept awake and into twelve the bells did make."

The first peal on the new bells was rung by the local band in 1990. The recording was performed by a local band and consisted of spliced Surprise Maximus in two methods, the first of which, seconds place Phobos, had not been rung before, and Countesthorpe.

The band consisted of:

1 Barry E Saunders
