Evidence:

Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 16 February 1830: 'Here is a paragraph about Bells which I copy from the Times [transcribes passage reporting first ringing of 'Holt's complete peal of Grandsire triples' in country, by Ipswich senior society of change ringers] [...] 'Perhaps, after all, there may be nothing worth your reading in the paragraph; but as it contained mystic words, "change-ringers", "Grandsire triples" &c I thought I would run the chance of sending it to you.'
