The first ever district quarter peal month has been very successful.A total of 14 quarter peals were scored at 9 towers in the district during November 2010. Bobbing, Cobham, Hoo, Meopham and Rochester Cathedral each rang two quarters, and Eastchurch, Gravesend, High Halstow and Swanscombe rang one quarter each.

In previous years the district held a quarter peal week. It is hoped that towers not shown to have taken part last year will become involved in the district quarter peal month in November 2011.

All available details of the quarters rung are shown below. Special thanks to Florence Hamp and Helen Webb for their efforts in organising and promoting the month.
