| 1753 | The London Youths rang their first peal, Plain Bob Major, at St George-in-the-East, conducted by Peter Bailey. The church, designed by Hawkesmoor and Gibbs, was one of those built as thanks offering for the victories of the Duke of Marlborough. It was destroyed by fire during the 1941 blitz. | LY1 |
| 1788 | "A true and exquisite peal containing 6600 changes Bob Maximus" was rung in 5 hours and 5 minutes at Great St Mary's by the Cambridge Youths "without a false change." This was the third peal of Maximus to be rung outside London. | H&A/233 |
| 1851 | An attempt by the Cumberland Youths to surpass the Ancient Society of College Youths long length of Stedman Cinques rung two weeks earlier by ringing 8,184 at St Michael's, Cornhill failed after nearly 6000 changes when two bells shifted course. See January 6, 1851 and May 5, 1851. | S159 |
| 1898 | A claim was made that the peal of Cambridge Surprise Royal rung at Cheltenham on this day, conducted by John Austin, was the first of Royal in the method. It was a little late: one was recorded at Wakefield on October 26, 1822! | BN1898/483 |
