There are any number of methods named after places, and it can be fun to ring the method at the tower it shares a name with. The band at Exton did just that, with a quarter peal of Exton Delight Minor.

The church looks low, but only because the spire is so tall. The nave & clerestory are visible, in local sandstone with ironstone banding. 2 large windows are visible in the nave wall. Above, the tower is extended by the spire, with is buttressed at its base and has 3 sets of lights moving up to the top. The sky is almost entirely blue and the tree visible to the right has bare branches.

Photo by Chris Droffats Yelvertoft church looks like it has had several phases of building. The chancel is to the left of the image and has a large 3 light window with a shallow arched top. To the right is then what might be a vestry, with a square headed window. Further right there is the nave and a side aisle, which has a different roof pitch to the vestry and has shallow arched topped windows. The clerestory has square headed windows. Furthers right is the tower, which is square, with tapered corner buttresses and a crenelated parapet. The whole is from a mottled ironstone. The graveyard is lush green grass and the sky is a threatening grey.

A nightime picture of Hardingstone church. We are looking down the church path, flanked by evergreen bushes, which are lined with fairy lights. The path to the church is wet and glistening in the reflected light. The tower is in front of us, a simple square tower with a door, clock, louvres, crenelated parapet and pinnacles. The tower is of a pale stone and it;s slightly coarsely cut. The church is to the left and the roof is visible. The sky is dark, the trees surrounding the church are lit bu the flood lights.

We're looking up a slope at Hambleton church, illuminated by the slanting, golden rays of a winter setting sun. The East end is facing us, with the tower at the far end of the church. It is not standing up far above the nave and has a squat little tower with lights that look like ears. The war memorial is in front of us, with a wreath showing. The trees surrounding the church are all bare and the sky is a clear blue.

Image is of Peterborough Cathedral. A broad frontage with 3 arches and 2 towers either side. Ornately carved and with a projecting porch in the lower portion of the middle arch. The green in front is not very evident. The sky is a deep blue and there are just a few wisps of cloud. The sun is shining and there are deep shadows in the arches.

The Cathedral band have been challenging themselves with ringing more methods. This quarter of London Royal is part of that effort. It was rung for the evensong service.

Gretton church is pictured in sunshine, with a sky of white clouds and patches of blue. Against this, the ironstone tower stands out clearly. The tower is to the left of the image, with, in a paler stone, several bands around the tower, a crenelated parapet and pinnacles on each corner. The church is in a different stone, a much lighter colour and smoother surfaces. There are 2 roseate windows in the wall of the nave, above the side aisle. Facing us is a porch and an extension (a vestry?) with a large window facing us. The churchyard grass is neatly cropped and there are a number of grave marker. There are a number of tress around the church, all in full leaf. Picture by hjd_photopics on instagram

This is an unusual church. The tower is to the right, the body of the church is to the left and away from us. We can see 2 faces of the tower. In 3 stages, it dates from the 12thC. The tower has an unusual pitched roof and there are only a few small windows in tower's west face. In the lower stage of the North face of the tower we can see 3 blind arches of an arcade. Of the church we can see the North side aisle and porch above wich is a short clerestory of 3 bays. The church is of a brown/grey rubble stone. The church is set on top of a slope and we can see the fields of Northamptonshire spread out beyond the church. There are trees framing the church on either side of our view and the sky is an almost cloudless blue. The grass in front of us is closely mown and slightly parched. The image makes me think of a hot August.

Photo from the Peterborough Diocese Facebook page Dallington church sits very low to the ground, the tower barely sticks it's top up higher than the nave. We're looking at it from the Chancel end and the chancel end is to the right of the image, with a large 3 light arched window showing clearly. There is a collection of bushes in the middle of the image, hiding the chancel wall from us. We can see the nave is a little higher and there's a side aisle to the left of the image. The tower is just visible over the nave roof. It has louvres and is topped with crenelations and a flag pole flying a red flag. The church is from a mixed colour ironstone, the East wall of the chancel in particular has a variety of different colour stone blocks.

At Brigstock they rang a quarter peal in memory of Len Hallifax, who was involved with ringing at Lowick, just down the road. They rang the bells half muffled, giving a haunting call and echo effect.

A funeral service book for Brian Walton. Features a picture of a smiling kindly man in what looks like wedding attire, a suit and white button hole.
Great Easton church, from ACNY. The church is of ironstone with paler stone mouldings and butresses. To the left is a square tower topped with a tall spire. There's a gold figured clock facing us. To the right there a bare tree and the sky is a overcast grey.

A modern church in light brown brick against a blue sky, just a few puffy white clouds. The church has a tower and about 2/3rds of the way up a set of lighter bands in brick, where the louvres are. To the left of the tower is the church entrance, with a high canopy over it. In front is a road and some cones and to the right what appears to be 2 people working, maybe dealing with the bushes that are between the church and the road, they have a green piece of machinery that I can't identify!

The band at Peterborough St Mary's rang a quarter peal for the Ash Wednesday service. They chose an appropriate method, Ash Wednesday Doubles.

Ugh. Persistent #ringing in my ear sand the accompanying bouts of mild #vertigo along with allergy related sinus drainage can end now. 2 rounds of #antibiotics, changes in #allergy meds, and a month later and STILL.
A small church stands against an appropriately gloomy grey sky. Sudborough church is pictured with the tower to the left, nave with a crossing facing us and the small chancel to the left. The tower is fairly small, square with 3 stages and a little pointed roof just visible. The whole is of a coarse cut creamy stone.
