Pattingham Bellringers Methods

blue line

plain lead

bob

single

The treble plain hunts. When the treble leads a bell makes seconds and the bells in 3-4 and 5-6 dodge. When the treble lies at the back the bells in 1-2 and 3-4 dodge. The bell which dodges 3-4 up at the treble lead then makes 4ths and then 3rds and then dodges 3-4 up. The bell which dodges 3-4 down when the treble lies then makes 3rds and then 4ths and then dodges 3-4 down. While 4ths place is being made the bells in 5-6 dodge. While 3rds place is being made the bells in 1-2 dodge.

In practice this means that the bells triple dodge on the front and the back while making half Cambridge places on the way from front to back or vice versa.

At a bob:
	the bell which makes 4ths and dodges 3-4 down runs in
	the bell which dodges 3-4 up makes 4ths and in to the front
	the bell which makes 2nds runs out as far as 4ths and then makes 3rds then dodges 3-4 up

At a single:
	the bell which dodges 3-4 down makes 3rds then 4ths then 3rds and dodges 3-4 up
	the bell which dodges 3-4 up makes 4ths and goes down
	the bell which makes 2nds is unaffected
