Composed by Sam Thomas, Conducted by A. Craven

Rung with half-muffled clappers as a tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Sam Thomas, who was interred at Intake on the Saturday week previously. He was a much valued member of the above societies; for many years was leader and conductor of the band at Ranmoor, and was for some time connected with the Cathedral company.
The composition is considered his best work. It contains the 6th the extent in 5th’s place, and the 4th. 5th and 6th the extent in 6th’s place,
in the minimum number of courses.
It was the second peal to be discovered with these qualities.
