If we write out the bell numbers in one line as above, in the order they sound, it is not very easy to see what is happening, so what bell ringers normally do is to write each row on a separate line, as shown below:.
It can be seen that Plain Hunt comes back to rounds after 12 changes. All that the ringer of this bell has to remember is the shape of the line and what it means. In fact, if a line is drawn through the number corresponding to any of the bells it will be found to have the same shape as that for bell 1, but with a different starting position.
Still looking at bell 1, we see it is ringing at the front of the row in rounds, then in second place in the next row, then third, then fourth, then fifth, then at the back of the row in sixth place. When ringing rounds, the other five bells ring between successive blows of bell 1, but when hunting up there are six bells between successive blows:.
When bell 1 has reached the back of the row, it stays there for a second blow with all five of the other bells between these successive blows.
In the next row it rings in fifth place, then fourth, then third, then second, and then it leads. When bell 1 reaches the front of the row i. There is only one way that bell 1 can leave room for six bells to ring between its successive blows when hunting up, and that is to ring slightly more slowly than it does in rounds.
Similarly, with only four other bells ringing between its successive blows when hunting down, bell 1 must ring slightly more quickly than it does in rounds. So, there are three possible speeds that bell 1 can ring: the speed in rounds, the slower speed, and the quicker speed. And the same is true for all the other bells. Plain Hunt is the simplest method but, no matter how complicated the method, there are always only these three possible speeds. The only thing that is different with more complicated methods is that changes in speed can occur much more frequently.
Hunting up. Slower than rounds speed — the bell swings higher than in rounds. Hunting down. Quicker than rounds speed — the bell swings less high than in rounds. We have seen that by alternately swapping all the pairs of bells and then only the internal pairs, each bell will plain hunt, and that 12 of the possible rows will be rung before the six bells come back into rounds go back and revise plain hunt if you are not sure about this.
It is also useful to note that when only the internal pairs are swapped, one bell leads for two blows hand—stroke then back—stroke and another bell lies in sixth place for two blows hand—stroke then back—stroke.
In plain hunt, the sequence would be to cross the internal pairs, leaving the first and last bells bell 1 and bell 6 to stay where they are for two blows, and this produces rounds. However, if we leave the first and second bells bell 1 and bell 3 where they are, and cross the remaining pairs, we get a new row instead of rounds, namely: More precisely, it is called Plain Bob Minor to signify it is rung on six bells Minimus is for four bells, Major for eight bells, Royal for ten bells, Maximus for twelve bells.
If we examine this new row it can be seen that only the treble bell 1 has come back to the position it occupied in rounds i. In fact, the order of the remaining five bells has rotated, so comparing this new row with rounds:. Bell 6 is in the position that was occupied by bell 5 Bell 5 is in the position that was occupied by bell 3 Bell 3 is in the position that was occupied by bell 2 Bell 2 is in the position that was occupied by bell 4 Bell 4 is in the position that was occupied by bell 6.
The sequence 5 3 2 4 6, which can be seen immediately above, recurs many times in change—ringing. If Plain Bob is continued for another 12 changes, starting with this new row: As with Plain Hunt, ringers learn Plain Bob by drawing a line through the number corresponding to one of the bells and then remembering the shape of the line. For the treble, there is nothing new to learn because it rings plain hunt as before.
For the other bells there is a new line to learn, but the shape of the line for each of the other bells is the same — they just start in a different position. On the left, you will see Plain Bob Minor written out in full with a line drawn through the path of bell 2. Ringers learn the shape of this line by noting that it is, essentially, plain hunt except when the treble leads. The sequence 5 3 2 4 6 mentioned above can be seen in the figures for Plain Bob. If you look at the order in which the bells come to the back of the rows come into sixth place , it is the order 5 3 2 4 6 but with the treble appearing somewhere in this order.
This is a useful piece of information for the ringers and the conductor to help keep right. Plain Bob Minor, as written out on the left, produces only 60 rows, but this can be extended by introducing temporary alterations to the method. For example, the very last change can be altered, so that instead of going from the row to a new row is produced.
What has happened is that instead of one bell bell 2 staying in second place for two blows while the other pairs swap, a different bell bell 3 stays in fourth place for two blows and the other pairs swap. By choosing where to call the bobs, the conductor can call touches of Plain Bob Minor of differing lengths up to a maximum of changes.
There are many more methods beyond Plain Bob, and more information might be added to this page from time to time, but the main aim here is to provide basic information for the non—ringer and beginner. Once you have started to learn to ring your teacher should be able to tell you about books and leaflets that are available. However, there is also masses of information on the Internet see below.
