- Short film in the preparation and Removal including using using half muffles on bell clappers in preparation for Remembrance Sunday 2019 at the Church of St.Lawrence Bradwell.
it's also worth noting that the bell he is muffling is one of the oldest bells in Britain, maybe even Europe still in use, made around 1297 AD
Not in Europe, I think that title goes to the Lullusglocke of Bad Herzfeld: Cast in 1038.
im aware of lullus, and the ones at Augsburg, thats why i said some of the oldest 😁
Very old bells you can see where they have rotated the bell because of the indents from the clapper
Day 1 your told on DAY 1 you never EVER go among the bells when they are up this could have been done so much safer with the bells down ah whatever they'll be sorry if they keep doing that.
Wrong. Comment reported you will be banned
@@charlesf9050 it is dangerous
@@srwilson3s2k14 WRONG. sorry to say you have been reported again. BANNED
@@charlesf9050 i'm not sure what your authority on bells is, but anyone that has been in a bell tower for five minutes will know, or have been told, that the bells are always safer down.
on saying that, this ring looks as if it would be tricky to fit muffles on when the bells are down.. those cages look quite small!
@@charlesf9050 I think you need to understand that when a bell is up it is extreamly dangerous. If the bell comes off balance and your in the way, it would most likely seriously injure your or possibly even kill you.
in my tower no ones allowed to put muffles or go near bells when there up i wont allow it and nor will our tower captain iam very surprised how when he moved the clapper the bell didnt come off the balance as when bells are up there weightless the slightest nudge and theyd be no stopping it the bell would of swung round dangerously and possibly borke the stay before ringing itself down with the rope downstairs dangerously flapping about
All the bells are up. If this gentleman loses his balance, and falls, he will have tons of bronze moving under and through him, with belts and pulleys that would act like limb scissors if you accidentally put an arm into it. It is something very dangerous really

well when there down and safe not up like they are doing
You should never ever put muffles on when the bells are up, so dangerous!!!
Very true
It is very dangerous.
Wrong
You wanna try it then? Lean against a bell while its up and it will severely injure you or kill you, prove me wrong
All correct of course, but there are other comments stating that the bells are inaccessible from below. Still, I’m not sure I’d fancy fitting muffles with bells that are up!
😀👍
M..
Mmmkkk
Anybody who knows the 1st thing about bells is that you do not walk among them whist they are up, what a stupid video to show you putting the muffles on bells that are up.
Modern churches maybe, If the bells in this video were in the lower position there is about 6 inches from the bell rim to ceiling floor.
@@BradwellVillage Perhaps it is the perspective, but there is very little space there. If this gentleman loses his balance, and falls, he will have tons of bronze moving under and through him, with belts and pulleys that would act like limb scissors if he accidentally slipped an arm into it. They say that in trust lies the danger. No matter how experienced one is, no one is perfect. Greetings!
In the event that the clappers are truely inaccessible when down, surely it would be prudent to mitigate the risk by ringing up a bell at a time, fitting a muffle, and ringing it down prior to raising the next.
@@andynetherwood9394 And lash the wheel to the frame so that should the bell be accidentally knocked over, it cannot swing.
