The tables on this website show the number of peals rung by ringers between 1st January 1894 and the present which have been published on BellBoard, in The Ringing World (up to and including the issue of 22 Aug 2025) or notified to me directly.
You can enter a surname to list the ringers with that surname. PealBase supports limited wild card searches on ringer names. Use '%' as the wild card character. For example, '%an% Craddock' would show 'Andrew G Craddock', 'Diane E Craddock', 'Jane Craddock', 'Susan F Craddock' but not 'Liam Craddock'. Note that a maximum of 600 matches are listed.
