According to the Central Council for Church Bell Ringers, “A peal is the ‘gold standard’ change ringing performance during which the bells are rung continuously in over 5000 different sequences, without visual aids, typically taking 3 hours.” More interesting and historical information about peals can be found in their document “What is a peal?”
