On New Year’s Day in Ilmington, bell ringers would ring “The Devil’s Peal” to usher the old year out and welcome the new one in. However, The Church Bells of Warwickshire (1910), mentions that this peal was usually rung in the county on New Year’s Eve #NewYearLore

It was reputed that when the bell ringers approached Fenny Compton's church of St Peter and St Clare to ring in the New Year at midnight, a large eye would stare at them through one of the bullet holes (from the English Civil War) in the church door. #NewYearLore
