| 1771 | The Norwich Scholars rang 6,720 Double Norwich Court Bob Major at St Michael Coslany. Norwich in 4 hours and 25 minutes. This is considered to be the first peal in the method, the “Court Bob” methods being rung by the College and Cumberland Youths in London being different methods. | DNCB48 |
| 1817 | "The Society of Bromley Youths rang at St Peter's, Bromley, 5040 Grandsire Triples with the Bells muffled, Being the first Dumb Peal of this kind ever Rang in the Kingdom." This, the first recorded muffled peal, was in memory of W Chapman, who had been a ringer at Bromley for 43 years and had rung in their first peal in 1774. | H&A/129 |
