To mark the passing of this grim milestone, the tenor bell, (32cwt 1 qtr, 11 lbs/1.643 tonnes), was rung half muffled for ten minutes at 8pm, on Tuesday, 26th January 2021.
I’m a bellringer and i work for the NHS in nursing. The sound of this bell it’s open side, the reason for it ringing, plus haunting sound of the muffle moved me tears.
Ringing the bell on my own and out of personal choice of wanting to see the muffle it was placed this way around on this occasion, but normally it would be the other side, yes.
@@DavidBraunton I suspected that was why it was where it was. Really love the sound of the muffled bell. I do wonder what a fully muffled bell would sound like - suspect we won't hear that until the death of the Sovereign.
@@DavidBraunton I’m a ringer from barrow in Furness I would like to come ring at Grantham once after ringing is back on and COVID measures have stopped when does Grantham ring please?
Kampanaphobia - fear of bells Pendulophobia - fear of swinging objects the sight of a vigorously swinging church bell isn't definitely the right place for a person having both these phobias.

Thank you for all you've done!
Beautiful. I really do love these bells.

Me too
This bell is very beautiful.
and again in continental Style. I like that.
These are on my bucket-list to ring one day. Such gorgeous bells.
Are you the tower captain?
I am
@@DavidBraunton do you have a deputy tower captain? At Romsey Abbey my dad is deputy tower captain and just wondering if other towers have a deputy.
@@RingerPeter yes we do, have a Deputy Tower Captain too
Love to ring here heaviest ring near me
@@chillinbro5423 sure come and have a ring when we're back to it!
Swinging of the bell starts at 1:29.
Why the bell only rings on one side.
@@kirchenglockentv it rings both side, but on one side of the clapper is a leather muffle, designed to give a 'loud' stroke and an echo on the other.
Are you going to toll the tenor on the 23rd march for the minute silence at 12:01? (minute silence starts at 12:00)
Yeah, will be, a few other local towers are doing do too, including Belton.
Is the muffle on wrongly, or is the backstroke muffled on purpose?
deliberately on this way so it can be seen on the video.
I think the muffle is on the wrong side if I’m correct

Do you can make a full ringing ?. But like european stille
Whilst under Covid restrictions, It's just one person ringing, if you look at some of my other videos you can see full circle ringing.
there are other videos around from this tower, especially the ringing for notre dame
@@DavidBraunton I’m a ringer from barrow in Furness I would like to come ring at Grantham once after ringing is back on and COVID measures have stopped when does Grantham ring please?
@@kyletheringer originally Tuesday evening or Sundays, but we will see when we go back, as things could change.
@@DavidBraunton ok
Can you do half muffled on all bells?
Yep, Remembrance Sunday, we do
Kampanaphobia - fear of bells
Pendulophobia - fear of swinging objects
the sight of a vigorously swinging church bell isn't definitely the right place for a person having both these phobias.
