Society of Cambridge Youths| Society Name | Descriptions | From (year) | To (year) | Web site |
|---|
| Society of Cambridge Youths | The society was formed on 3rd August 1724, the year after a new ring of 10 bells was installed at Great St Mary’s church in Cambridge. There had certainly been ringing in Cambridge for at least one hundred years before that date and this may have been the re-formation of an earlier society, though no written records of it have been found. The title ’Society of Cambridge Youths’ was first recorded in the 1770s. Earlier documents usually referred to the society as the ‘university ringers’, not because it was made up of students but because much of their paid ringing was carried out for university events. The Society is unusual in having an unbroken set of financial and other records from the date of its formation to the present.
