Quarter peal totals in earlier years

The earliest quarter peal recorded at All Saints was in March 1904, to commemorate 30 years of ministry by the Rector, Canon Sturges. The number rung between then and 1965 is uncertain because records of quarter peals at All Saints held by the tower are incomplete. The best estimate is 32, but the true number is probably higher. The figures below from 1966 onwards are believed to be complete. Note that fewer than 50 were rung between 1904 and 1978, whereas well over 400 have been rung since then. The figures below include Date Touches,
