Ancient Society of College Youths
A long-running society of change ringers associated with London's great rings of bells. Its members preserve centuries of peal records and ringing knowledge while continuing the collective practice of complex full-circle and handbell methods.
Established in 1637, the Society maintains an extensive archive of manuscripts, peal books, photographs, oral histories and records of its members' ringing achievements.
