Chester Cathedral bells

Some Yorkshire Surprise Maximus on the 1973 Taylor twelve at Chester. Not so much to look at but the bells sound great outside the tower. Inside they are a bit indistinct, but better than they were the first time I rang here.

That’s so impressive

Now there is an extra treble, I tried it, I could literally ring it with one hand

[@MGRinger02]

A rather peculiar tower, I must say, though similar to Pembridge!

[@timmeh1507]

I don't know if true but I had heard that it was intended to be a loose modern interpretation of Pembridge!

Why aren’t the bells hung in the Cathedral Tower?

[@timmeh1507]

I think that the cathedral tower just wasn't strong enough to hold the ringing bells. There is still one bell up there and I think it's no.8 of the old ring of ten.

HO HO HO!

Aren't they good? Unfortunately things seemed to go off for them after these.
