This work entailed entering all the performances from the peal book which covers the period 1761-1971 into Philip Saddleton's Pealbook software. The whereabouts of the Society's records from 1972 through to 2000 is unknown. Accordingly the information has been supplied from Andrew Craddock's Pealbase and imported into the Pealbook software.

It is not known who was responsible for entering all the early peals into the Society's peal book. It precedes work done by George Dawson.

Attempts have been made to show the correct weights for the main Nottingham towers.

At the time of writing the following work still needs doing:

1. Checking all entries for the 18th & 19th century and if possible rectifying any name anomalies
2. Resolving those performances where a ? is entered

Notes: Where a ringer is referred to as Jnr in the peal book the name of the "Snr" has not been changed even though it subsequently shows "Snr" in the peal book. Similarly "Jnr" is used even when it is apparent that the "Snr" is no longer ringing. Some peals only use the Initial of the ringer, others use a full name - where it appears obvious the full name is used.

Where the name of the tower has changed the current one is used and the older name is detailed in the footnotes.

Additional comments or notes are shown in the footnotes as: [Ed - xxxx]

• 18th & 19th Century peals Nos 1-61
• 20th & 21st Century peals Nos 62 onwards
• Miscellaneous performances
