They are very hard to hear inside but are definitely worth it :)

Good to hear all the way in Vancouver Canada

It's tragic that the tower acoustics are shocking.
Nothing that can't be solved with loads of money.

[@georgebasford1999]

I agree with you

[@Steven_Rowe]

@@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

[@normanchristie4524]

@@georgebasford1999 A pity. The bell chamber is just too big. Could be improved with accoustic screening.

Lovely 4 tonne tenor

[@christianong3703]

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

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… 😡

[@daffyfromuk]

Move house. The church was there long before. All the best with that

[@domtomas1178]

@@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.

[@emma12345890]

Why are you watching videos of bellringing if you don't like it

[@domtomas1178]

@@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.

[@michaelwoolley7034]

​@@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

[@daffyfromuk]

Is it me or do they sound a tad better as a 10
