On November 11th 1933 Percy Stone was asked by his father to take the place of another ringer in a Peal. Thus it was that he rung his first Peal. It was Plain Bob Minor at Exhall Church and he was 12 years old. On November 11th 2003 some of the Allesley ringers sprung a surprise Quarter Peal on Percy at St Giles Exhall to celebrate the anniversary of his first Peal. Percy rang the same bell to the same method that he had rung 70 years earlier.
