The Northallerton band rang a peal of the Nottingham Eight recently:

Yorkshire Association
Northallerton, North Yorkshire
19 The Green, Romanby

Friday, 28 April 2017 in 2h32 (11)

5184 Spliced Surprise Major (8m) 
960 Cassiobury; 768 Cambridge; 576 Bristol, Cornwall, Glasgow, Lessness, London, Superlative; 149 com.
Composed by D F Morrison (no. 7344)

1-2  Jonathan J F Stokoe
3-4  Jennifer A Town
5-6  James W Holdsworth (C)
7-8  Peter J Sanderson

The composition is one of the ones I decided not to call in the tower, but it's a good one with lots of 5678s and 6578s at the front and back, as well as being handbell-friendly because 5-6 are fixed at the part-end.

This set me wondering how many previous handbell peals there have been of the Nottingham Eight. By searching BellBoard, I found two more, both of them Graham John's one-part all-the-work composition, conducted by Richard Pearce.

There might be other peals that were never published on Campanophile or BellBoard, but it's more difficult to find them through a combination of www.peals.co.uk and checking details in the Ringing World. Even so, it's clear that there is some way to go before this combination of methods overtakes the Standard 8 in popularity.
