Some Stedman on these splendid, gutsy bells cast by Mears & Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1929-30. the tenor is 12-0-4 in G. #bellringing #churchbells #cambridgeshire
@@timmeh1507 Yes, but it was mostly later on (post-war), and if I’m not mistaken at the point these were cast it was shortly after they’d finally got the hang of tuning!
@@Ringer_Fran I suppose a lot of their really famous rings are postwar but some of their early harmonically tuned bells are absolutely superb. Fenham, Stoulton, St David's Cathedral...
I understand the organist wasn't too happy 😂
@@maidstone10 well, we had been booked in perfectly legitimately!
@timmeh1507 absolutely! (Kath was telling me)
Not bad for M&S!
@@Ringer_Fran M&S cast many excellent bells 🔔

Lovely bells, the 3rd sounds a bit off though. Too flat.
@@francescogreenslade7793 sounds spot on to me!
Just like Liss, then.
@@RingerThomas Liss are pretty perfect in tune
