Though bell-ringing is a highly complex art, it can be engaged in a variety of levels of skill and this book is intended as a companion for experienced bell-ringers as well as an introduction for newcomers. With the aid of numerous illustrations, it describes the historical development of change-ringing, giving clear instructions in handling a bell and ringing changes - from 'dodging up' and 'making seconds' to the variety of methods such as Plain Bob, Grandsire Triples and Cambridge Surpise Minor - and outlining the pleasures of 'peal-ringing'.
