| Year | Event | Reference |

| 1892 | Mrs George Williams became the first woman to ring a peal with one of Grandsire Triples on handbells at Brighton. | nv |
| 1911 | This is the date on the first issue of The Ringing World, founded by John Sparkes Goldsmith. He started it because of the unrest about the existing ringers' paper, The Bell News. Harvey Reeves, who had started this in 1881, was a very sick man, and without his firm hand the quality of the paper had been degenerating for some time. He died a few days before the Ringing World appeared. | nv |
| 1913 | A band in Kent rang four peals in a day, the first time this had been done. Each of the four peals was in seven Minor methods. | nv |
| 1916 | The Ringing World of this date included an article by H W Fright giving his system for abbreviating methods. This was one of the forerunners of place notation. | nv |
