I would love to ring here I’ve only been to the safari park

The tuning of these bells is very poor indeed.

These sound like Kirkburton

gillett and johnson tenor 15-0-23cwts 1927

Those look like church bells

So lovely to hear the sound of my childhood, and to think that when you were playing these bells , my parents were still alive and well 🙏🏻 oh for a Time Machine 🙏🏻

Upon arriving in the UK later this year (2024) I have TWO tenors to ring, the first is the world's heaviest one 'Emmanuel' some cwt 82 at Liverpool Cathedral, and this one at Exeter! If Alex can do this then certainly I can as well! CAN'T WAIT!

Very similar to St Martin’s in Birmingham.

These sound like basildon

Is this Southwick in wiltshire

ugggh just no, take out the two semi-tones, they sound so out of place

I started ringing when I was 8

Where

Best ring of six Whitechapel ever cast!

whitechapel tenor 12-3-16cwts

Good upper body workout

Expertly rung down

st nicks is closing so no ringing

Is the expression on your face a key part of style E?!

16 bells!?

16 BELLS?!

These have improved massively following their rehanging on modern fittings and replacement of 4th and 7th with two externally tuned bells. Sound like a complete new ring (even though the other six bells were not touched!)

This is the first glass bell tower ever

That reminds me of ringing in St Columb's Derry with a semitone bell added when a rope broke on one of the normal 10. Not the worst that I have heard. I wonder what they would sound like if they were half-muffled.

That sounds awful

Thanks to National Lottery players the church has just been awarded a large grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the bells should ring again in the second half of 2024, ten years after the fire.

"Tin Froyle!"

How many years would it take to ring all the changes on 16 bells if it takes 3 hours to ring a peal (5040 changes) on 7 bells?

taylors

I think that and Pershore get my vote as the towers with the crappiest most unwelcoming ringing rooms. Oh yes of ourse Liverpool which reminds of some cold Victorian factory or workhouse.

It sounds awful and probably because its using the diatonic 14 plus the other bells chromatic bells. Far better to simple ring 12 or 10. Or even the light 10.

hohoho taylors

hohoho taylors

2 whitechapel trebles the rest john taylor

the unused bell at st petrock exeter was the former 3rd bell here

I started bell ringing when I was 3 1/2 years old

The tenor is over weight and they maybe could restore the ringing room and hang the bells in a new 2 tier frame back 10 in first tier front 6 and semi tones in second tier and tenor either traded for a bell from Kirby St Chad merseyside or broken up and recast

Where's this?

Nice hunting!! When it is in slow motion its like plain hunt on 5 at brant broughton Lincolnshire! That's because all the bells are monsters! They go well tho! Tenor is 23 hundred wieght on a ring of 6?

awwwww these are nice

listen to that eleventh

You’ve no idea how helpful this is. I was making good progress until we tackled method Ringing. Complete cognitive dissonance and collapse of style. It comes together when you are at your lowest ebb.

cast by whirechapel gillett and johnson and john taylor co and bellfounders in 2011 2001 1929 and 1924 tenor 3-3-9cwts

taylor 8 in 1914 the frame is 2017

that's a lot of weight for not much reward!

F# surely?

john taylor tenor 4-0-9cwts

Listening to #5. First work would have been 3/4 up but there was a bob, so instead out to 4 and back to lead. Then long 5ths. Next work would have been 3/4 up but again there was a bob, so instead out to 4 and back to lead. #5 work was alternating make 4th and long 5ths.

trebles and 6th are whitechapel 3 and 4 are thomas II mears 5 and tenor 11-2-24cwts are joanna or johanna hlls 7th is henry pleasant
