Guest, "change ringing" is a system of ringing peals of church bells. It appears to be a peculiarly British in origin although it has been exported to other parts of the world, and requires the bells to be hung in a particular way.

Each bell is tuned to a different note, and each time through the order they are played changes in a pre-arranged pattern known as a 'method'. These have rather glorious names such as Grandsire Triple or Plain Bob Minor. A full peal comprises thousands of changes and lasts several hours.

Changes may also be rung on handbells, which is a relief for the neighbours.
