What is Plain Bob Minor?
Plain Bob Minor is a widely rung method on six bells and a common progression from ringing Plain Bob Doubles. The treble plain hunts up to sixth place and back and there are five working bells which complete a cycle of five pieces of work. Each of these pieces of work happens at the treble lead, when seconds place is made over the treble. In between each of these pieces of work, each bell plain hunts.
As the tenor rings the method rather than covering, there is no longer a constant visual and auditory cue to help accurate leading.
