@@AshleyMonck69Not quite right. Surprise/Delight/Bob etc are categories of method, but a principle does not fall under the method umbrella. A method must have the treble bell performing a different piece of work to the working bells (plain hunting, treble bobbing), rather in a principle all the bells perform the same work, so it is a separate thing.

Jemma thanks so much for uploading this, it means so much to me. Yes these are old fashioned bells but they are to me at least THE SOUND OF LONDON. in rang here for the first time in 1967,I was 14 and just got in to the ASCY. My dad was a bell hanger for Whitechapel. On Saturdays dad use to ring the ellecombe chime and r the banger the other bell above the 12 Well that was a long time ago and a long way from where I live now down under.
Beautifully restored they should last up there for at leat another 140 years as they where first hung in 1878 and after all that time where in danger of faling from their barings, plus years of london grime on them, they should stay cleaner now as less pollution, i would live to see these bells in actually, i have seen liverpools but that is quite easy!
Niels van der Giessen the bells themselves are unchanged. It was only the fittings that were modernised in order to preserve the sound, and the ability to ring the bells to the standard we do.
@@NielsvanderGiessen hello Neil Yes the cannons were cut off although the heavier bells were cut off along time ago. The bells were not tuned and so glad they weren't. St Pauls bells are old school pre simpson tuned and there sound is unique, it is to me the sound of London, the sound of victory the sound of my birth place. To have tuned them would to me be sacrilegious.
@@NielsvanderGiessen 100% correct. Whilst i love the sound of heavy simpson tuned bells, St Pauls is special Some say some of the bells sound like scaffolding being dropped, maybe so, but I think of the dark days of London, the blitz, Churchill etc. Iladt went to St Pauls in 2000 and they were being refurbished then with new wooden headstocks. I saw Great,Paul and videod it. I seem to have the only youtube footage of of it You may have seen it.
That’s the ‘banger’, and it’s got an electronic chiming hammer so the Cathedral can trigger it when the ringers are not in. It’s hung for ringing, not easy to do, but can be done. It’s 18cwt.
BEAUTIFUL RING SONGS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL BRITISH BELLS!!!!!!!
I’ve stood next to and touched the tenor bell when it was in the foundry getting restored.
Ringer Lucas how tall is it
About 5ft ish
I have tapped it with a clapper
@@lucasowen5040wow that is a big bell lol
Wow it's amazing seeing and hearing these enormous bells swing around and sing out
Absolument superbe ! Bravo à nos amis Britanniques...
A lovely sound with the half muffles and a lovely Method, or principle to be precise :-)
BigPinkJohn a principle is a type of method. The same thing with suprise. You wouldn’t say Cambridge is a surprise and not a method
Ashley Monck true just saying that steadman is always referred to correctly as a principle rather than a method.
or cambridge surprise maximus

I immediately think of Christmas ... another 7 months ... 🎅
Christmas is hardly the time for half-muffled though.

Top drawer ringing! Great to listen to.
Amazing shot of the bells!
A pleasure to my ears 💖 someone I know can also make a method...... Sound just as sweet as this a pleasure to the ears 🙂
Loved watching this 🙂
I’m Coming this Saturday to see the bells
Like today, the day after the Queen died. It sounds distant and eary.
Restored bells and one of the heaviest rings in the uk they wgere installed un187i8 originally and still retain the original wooden bell frame!
They look as good as they sound!.
superbe!
Those bells work so happy
I’m going there on the 30th of November

@@f_6954 went there anyway.
Wonderful!
Nice and shiny(er)
THE BEST BELLS OF EUROPE AND THE WORLD, NO QUESTION.
BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS, MUCH BETTER THAN SPAIN, HURRY UP UNITED KINGDOM OF THE GREAT BRITAIN!!!!!
Great ringing and amazing audio! Did you use an external microphone for this recording?
Sorry for the late comment! Not external mic, just the mic from my iPhone!
@@superjemma123456 jemma what is that bell above the frames?
that, @@nickpodas5636, is the service/communion bell, which was nicknamed the "Banger"
The tenor is closest to the camera, anyone remaining in the belfrey while this was going on would probay be deafened for life!!
Unless they are wearing hearing protection
Wow! I know people know me as a gamer, but I have a hobby of bellringing. I rly like it!!! 😄😄
I could not understand why it is aloud to destroy historic bells...
Niels van der Giessen the bells themselves are unchanged. It was only the fittings that were modernised in order to preserve the sound, and the ability to ring the bells to the standard we do.
The crowns are cut off, that's simply destroying parts of monumental bells. I could not say, but it does sound if they have been tuned as wel...
