- St Mary's Bells returned from the bellhangers. They were on show in the church to be admired by the townsfolk and then they were hoisted up the tower. The fittings and ropes were attached before a trial ring took place. Finally a full peal was rung to celebrate both the return of the bells and the 60th anniversary of HM Queen Elizabeth's coronation.
Spread this tradition throught the world
So beautiful
Excellent video!
Very good videos
Masters.
3 HOURS, if I was a bell ringer I'd probably do only 30 minutes
DGJ P Well it is a Peal. I am a ringer in Sussex and i am going to ring my First Quater peal (45-50mins) soon!
You'd be fine! A great deal of ringers have never rung peals, similar to the way that most people who jog haven't ran in marathons. It's only one small part of the tradition!
Bellissime
What happened the treble ringer at 6:31
I'm sorry. I don't know his identity. You could ask St Mary's band of ringers.
Must've been a long rope
Do yous know where the tenor went? Did it get scrapped, or is it still in the tower? Or did the Keltek Trust get it?
No I don't. The ringers at St Mary's could tell you. I understand there's no sentimentality in the ringing world and bells are routinely melted down for re-casting.
@@SamHallas1949 It doesn't seem to have worked out, now the remaining big bell is being recast!! 🤷🤷
Is that so? I haven't seen the St Mary's ringers for some time so haven't heard.
@@SamHallas1949 Yes the tenor is being recast. I am unsure of the reasoning, but I think it will be made slightly heavier.
Thanks Jason. I must find out if the ringers are going to do a peal for the coronation.
Why has the current tenor been recast?
I don't know. Perhaps @jasnfinlay has some more information
Create schools to teach how to cast and Tuning bells in South América. They have a lots of material cooper and thin . They cast bells but are horrible sound bells in South América sounds such as pots.
Sad to think that Whitechapel Bell Foundry has since closed, leaving only one working foundry in the UK.
There's a few others now, ain't there? There is of course Taylors, but Higby's also cast some smaller bells, and Westley's has been casting bells for a few years now, all of which are very high quality!
There are also a few foundries that have worked closely with English bellfounders, including Eijsbouts of the Netherlands and Allanconi of Italy
