A cracking gillett 8. Pity the strking wasn't the best.
This is lovely ringing on a beautiful Whitechapel peal. This is what I class as a wedding bell ring, a bright and chirpy light Whitechapel 8
You have to love Gilletts, these are beautiful and beautiful ringing too. St James Clerkenwell, there is another craxker Gillett 8
Nie bells with that old school country village feel.
Great li'l method, Annable's London 😁
Campanone: Pasquale Mazzola 1880 4 Minori: Roberto Mazzola 1902
I always try to guess the founder of bells before looking on Dove. In this case I am correct,Whitechspel bells. The shrill almost steely sound of trebles os the give away. My dad who was a bellhanger for Whitechapel in the 1940s to 1970s had a great saying. Whitechapel for trebles and Taylors for Tenors. White chapel produced wonderful light and chirpy wedding bell 8s. Taylors bells are more mellow and of course nobody did heavy tenors better.

They sound beautiful good video :)
Thank you, it was some nice ringing. The bells at St Lawrence are always a pleasure to ring.
One of my all time favourite eights. Nice steady bit of ringing, and Queens too - marvellous! 🙂
One of the best eights!
They are indeed. Equally their sister ring at Petworth to the east are up there.
@@francescogreenslade7793 they also remind me of Clitheroe which are absolutely beautiful.
St James Clerkenwell are another set of 8 Gillett gems
They sound interesting are they steel?
No, the front four are Gillett & Johnston of 1912 and the back two are Samuel Knight of 1703. They are all bronze bells - some of the bells, especially treble and 3rd sound a bit shrill because they are close to the louvres on the side I recorded this from.

Old school Taylor bells from 1894. Must have close to the time Taylor's started to use Simpson harmonic tuning.
Molto allegre! Nonostante siano tutte di diversa fusione, non sono per nulla male nell'insieme

Lovely bells and really nice ringing, I love the clear cut open leads.
Absolutely gorgeous and how so very English countryside. Nice Taylor bells as well.
nice to hear them faster for a change !

Molto belle, ottimo video.
Unusual view of an unusual ring of bells. Thank you! Bells like this are what make ringing interesting. No points to all the people who highlight that these aren't the prettiest in the world. But they should be kept just as they are. If you want to go ring yet another pristine Taylor 8 then there's a list as long as your arm. Leave these alone! :) 2!
Thanks for the kind comment Ben. Absolutely agree with you about the uniqueness of the bells - in my time as a regular Wednesday night visitor, the bells certainly grew on me the more I rang them. I understand they're a lot more manageable (with lesser experienced ringers in mind) since the installation of Rope Guides late last year, although I'm yet to ring them myself since. A grand ring for a grand Cathedral.

these are nice, though unusual..
Some very nice ringing and nice open leads. Old school Mears but a very sweet sound
They are honestly one of my favorite little sixes for this sort of ringing, and Norwich is my favorite Surprise Minor. Thoroughly enjoyed this ringing
nice gillett and johnson and samuel knight
I always love to hear bells and try and guess the founders, well I thought these were a modern peal but a quick check of Dove revealed how wrong I was, a mixed bag of bells including some Gillette and white chapel and even some pre reformation bells. Superaltive is not a method I like ringing, I think it is because of the cambridge places in 5/6 that have an e tr place a d dodge to reverse it.
These are quite the mix. The 4 and 8 were added by Warner's, followed by the 3 a few years later. G&J augmented to eight, and more recently the tenor was replaced with a new Whitechapel bell. Most recently, the Warner 4th and Eldridge 7th were removed (the latter reserved as a clock/sanctus bell) and replaced with two relocated bells sourced by the Keltek trust, part of a major restoration project which was completed this summer. The new seventh in particular completely brightens up the ring.
Re Superlative, I don't mind ringing it at all, in fact I like the rhythm you get with all the dodges on the front and back. My issue isn't the extra place in the C places, but rather moving off the back after only 4 and not 5 dodges 🤦. Was pleased to be conducting this piece on one of my favorite regular towers.
@francescogreenslade7793 lovely bells I think. For some reason a method I like ringing is Rutland
@@Steven_RoweWell I'm much more into my Surprise Minor and Major (because I live and ring in a rural area, there is much less ten and twelve bell ringing, although we do have two ten bell towers fairly close by) - I have to say I think my favorite methods are Norwich and Bristol respectively. I like ringing anything that is well struck though, even Plain Bob Doubles if it sounds good.
@francescogreenslade7793 well I agree about well struck, and how nice it is when you are ringing and you are just in the zone Never rung Norwich and haven't rung much Bristol, have managed to rung the standard 8. I rang a peal of 4 sliced at Bradford Peverill in 2011, it was Cambridge, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, and Rutland.
Sadly Great Peter does not ring with the other bells
A very sweet Taylor 13 cwt 8 from 1923 augmented to 10 in 1927 Very good ringing and delightful to listen too.
They are indeed an amazing ten. Work very well as an eight too (the original 8 as you say, from 1923).
@francescogreenslade7793 I think they arexan ideal weight for and 8. I do like 10sxto be heavier though. St Mary's cathedral in Sydney has a 12 plus a flat 6 and extra treble and identical to Canterbury, my dad hung them in 1986. The front 10 are 15cwt and are such a cracking ring.
@@Steven_Rowe One of my favorite tens, not very far from here either, is St Nicholas Guildford. I think that those are probably ideal weight for a ten (22cwt I believe). They were retuned and some recast, and are now very very nice.
@francescogreenslade7793 my dad Ernest J Rowe hung the original 10 at Guildford Cathedral, he also hung Bow with Bill Theobald a d I can remember going to see him at Bow in 1961 on the night of the tryout, I was 8. Thr old Cornhiill 12 was also dads job, he didn't like them, they didn't sound nice and to heavy for the tower. I do think Bow are the nicest sounding peal in London, I do love St Paul's though, yes they are old school pre Simpson tuning but the sound is to me LONDON, victory, in Europe and all that jazz I'm glad they weren't retuned even though to me the best peal is without a doubt Yorkminster. I love thexBristol Max video you made.
@@Steven_Rowe It's difficult to describe St Paul's, it's just an incredible sound. A friend of mine played me a recording made many years ago, of them being rung half-muffled to Stedman Cinques, and it was just fascinating. I also really like Guildford Cathedral, there's something magical about them. Lucky to have rung there on a number of occasions. Winchester Cathedral are one of the best I've rung on for sure, although not sure the 14 works as well as the 12 does.
Quite a music box. What are these like to get?
Something i find truly magical about surprise max ringing on heavy bells is that there is almost two different things happening You have bells 1 to 7 almost dancing through the back 5 and of course the pattern of the back 5 changes as do all the bells but duexto the size of the back they dominate the sound.
It was incredible to stand out in the streets of York and just hear this sound echo around the buildings, and to stand Infront of the tower too. Great privilege to have rung these the day before, even if only just to some rounds. Must return.
Rang a peal of Bristol at St Mary's in Sydney recently and those bells really demonstrate that too. The tone of the back bells contrasts with the rest in just the right way.
@@davros_adl8155 my dad was a White chapel bell hanger till 1972 then we moved to Sydney .dad hung the bells at St Mary's in 1986
To me these areTHE BEST sounding peal in the world. I think they are probably the best bellsTaylors have ever produce, in always impressed by the sustain and drone of the tenors. Of course good bels are only as good as the tower accustics and one again York is a knockout. I think i coukd simply shut eys and listen to a whole peal and simply forget the world and time.
pretty
