    A nice steady lower here. An object lesson to those of us who struggle to lower well in peal.

      Adrian Sunman It was impressive, considering how scared most of the band were!

    I didn't think visiting bands were allowed to ring at Merton - so I was told when I arranged an outing to Oxford in 2013.

      Technically, they still aren't. The band/organiser has to be vetted/trusted to ensure no one kills themselves.

    You could not see me going up there to ring those bells as I am terrified of heights.

    I think that and Pershore get my vote as the towers with the crappiest most unwelcoming ringing rooms.
    Oh yes of ourse Liverpool which reminds of some cold Victorian factory or workhouse.

      well at least at Pershore you aren't forced to look at a wide open chasm of death while doing the ringing!!

    If I got practice with bell ringing I'd totally do this. Cause hey you'd get the best view of the service.

    There is a HUGE hole in the floor of the ringing room! I can fix that.
