Prolific Peal Ringers
History and Archive

Bill Butler was the driving force behind the Prolific Peal Ringers project. He was himself a prolific peal ringer who rang 3,540 peals between his first in 1947 and his last in 2018. He was also a keen ringing historian and author so it was perhaps not surprising that these two aspects of his life came together in the Prolific Peal Ringers project, recording the lives of ringers who had rung 1000 peals or more.
