- Liverpool Cathedral have the highest and heaviest ring of bells hung for English change ringing. They are not easy to hear in the ringing chamber but are definetly worth visiting at least once. Recored at practice night 24th September 2022.
12 bells 82-0-11 in Ab
Definitely a must try of mine!
They are very hard to hear inside but are definitely worth it :)
Good to hear all the way in Vancouver Canada
Glad you like it :)
great video, well done 🔔🔝
It's tragic that the tower acoustics are shocking.
Nothing that can't be solved with loads of money.
I agree with you
@@georgebasford1999 ithink it needs a lowing ceiling plus insulation, the sound just bounces everywhere.
I would also LOVE to see Great George hung for
Ringing ,what a fantastic bell
@@georgebasford1999 A pity. The bell chamber is just too big. Could be improved with accoustic screening.
Lovely 4 tonne tenor
I would love to ring here I'm surprised you can ring the tenor on your own but it takes massive strength and balance like surfing a 10ft wave and years off experienced like Exeter Cathedrals tenor St Pauls Cathedrals 61cwt in Bb tenor Yorkminsters 59cwt in Bb tenor and St Buryans 37cwt in C# tenor
Ive not done the tenner at Liverpool yet gone as far round as the 6
@@georgebasford1999 that's alright 🤣 you have to give them all a bounce first and bend your knees
@@georgebasford1999 mears and stainbank the tenor is cast in 1938 the bourdon john taylor in 1940 almost the same year the tenor was cast
I’m planning a visit to Liverpool, can visiting ringers attend a practice?
Yes
What nights are practice nights?
Once a month on a Saturday
12 bells cast by mears and stainbank plus a sharp 2nd the bourdon is cast by john taylor
Bourdon bell is 293cwt in Db thats 14 tonnes. The sixth bell is 14cwt.
We have an old Church of England parish down the street from us. Every Monday night they ring the bells in this random way. No melody. Just this noise that goes on for over an hour… 😡
Move house. The church was there long before. All the best with that
@@daffyfromuk wouldn't mind if it was some sort of melody, but it's just random banging.. It's like school children having a go at the drums.
Why are you watching videos of bellringing if you don't like it
@@emma12345890 was trying to figure out why they a dining them on a Monday night (I can understand Sunday morning) and to see if other churches just ring them at all at once at random, no melody or anything. Even a single bell is so much nicer and not annoying.
@@domtomas1178if they do it on a Monday, it's practice to do it better on a Sunday, which should be obvious to anyone who gives it a moment of thought unless they're stupid
Bellringers music is not random, it has a melody according to principles you're ignorant of, that's all
Is it me or do they sound a tad better as a 10
