Bellringing at Welshpool, Powys.

Skip the first 40 seconds to get to the start of the ringing.
Outside of England full-circle change ringing is far less popular, with most churches in the rest of the world having bells hung for other styles of ringing or no bells at all. Wales is something of an exception, due to its location next to England and the fact that large parts of it have, over time, become greatly influenced by the English (There is scope here for a full history lesson, but I'll stop!)
The border town of Welshpool has a ring of 8 bells in its parish church. 6 of the current bells were cast in 1824 by Thomas Mears the second, whilst the remaining 2 were cast at later dates - possibly recastings of original Mears bells. The largest bell weighs about 3 fifths of a ton, so they are about 'average' size.
This tower was host to the all Wales striking competition in September 2012. This is the Mid-Wales branch ringing the test piece - a touch of Grandsire Triples.
This was recorded at the request of laurabellringer, who rang the 2nd. Sorry about the long pause at the beginning: the signal to start was given and then they took a while to actually get going! And I'm too lazy to find out how to edit this out.

Yes, you're quite right! I couldn't remember.

+Jane Watson Hey Jane just saw your comment about the bell ringing video. the Church in question is Saint Mary's Church in the Mid Wales town of Welshpool. I live there and if you ever get the chance to visit this wonderful Church I advise you go. I hope this info helps you.
