Bell Bellringers Bellringing Bells Change Leicestershire Longest Loughborough Peal Record Breakers Record Breaking Ring Ringing Rings Stedman Bell Ringers Bell Ringing Campanology


EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the momentous achievement of the Loughborough change-ringers as they broke the world record for the longest uninterrupted bell-ringing session on Easter Monday, 12th April 1909. The team, composed of dedicated bell-ringers from All Saints Church in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England, produced a remarkable peal of 18,027 Stedman Caters. This impressive feat surpassed all previous records in the annals of campanology, marking a significant milestone in the history of bell-ringing. The Stedman Caters, a method of change-ringing, is known for its complexity and the sheer number of changes it involves. The bell-ringers, driven by their passion and determination, completed this intricate pattern, ringing the bells a total of 18,027 times. The session lasted an astounding 12 hours and 18 minutes, making it the longest peal ever rung without a break. The weight of the bells and the physical demands of the ringing technique added to the challenge, making this achievement all the more remarkable. The photograph serves as a testament to the dedication, skill, and perseverance of these change-ringers. Their record-breaking peal of 18,027 Stedman Caters stands as the greatest achievement in the annals of bell-ringing, surpassing all previous records for the heaviest long peal, the greatest number of changes, and the longest time ever rung without rest. This moment in Loughborough's history continues to inspire and captivate bell-ringers and history enthusiasts alike.
