Posted by Graham Paul on 05/05/2014 "First Sunday" quarter peal on a Saturday Liz Moore is a regular ringer for evening services at All Saints but her employment prevents her getting to the church in time to be included in a "first Sunday" quarter peal. Liz had long wished to ring a quarter peal on eight and Northampton Ringers Society quarter peal arranger, Jennie Higson, managed to achieve this by organising the ringing of a "first Sunday" quarter peal on a Saturday. 1260 Grandsire Triples was rung in 48 minutes at All Saints on Saturday 5th April by the following: 1 Liz Moore (first quarter on eight bells), 2 Bridget Paul, 3 John Lindsay, 4 Greg Jordan, who conducted the ringing, 5 Giles Willson, 6 Robin Hickmott, 7 Graham Paul, 8 Jennie Higson.
