So many chimneys

We were ringing at the Town Church this lunchtime so I just popped up here for a quick snap of the chimneys on my way there.
We could only muster 4 ringers today; too many on holiday or otherwise busy. But Judith needed to ring her 99th quarter peal today because it's her birthday on Sunday and she will attempt her 100th then. 

Ringing on 4 bells is called Minimus and is rather repetitive because there are only 24 possible combinations on 4, so we had to ring the same thing 53 times to score the quarter peal. I think the most difficult thing is counting to 53.
If we rang all 8 bells there is a possible 40,320 combinations which would take about 24 hours to ring. That isn't going to happen!
