Lovely ringing on nice bells and what a lovely village. It would be so nice to sit in the church yard and listen.

Great video but the ring puzzles me. How can I like and dislike Bourne? It is like there are two strands to follow. Each is fine on its own. But then they cross. I had this same problem yesterday with the Minor you posted. It is strange. Still THANK YOU and the Ringers very much.

A warner 6 augmented to an 8 with two gillett and Johnston Trebles. They spound ok but the tenor sounds bit odd. Perhaps some odd harmonics

I don’t get why these get so much hate, just because they aren’t a music box 8! I love them, the tenor has such a great gust and I kind of like the out of tune sound

I never thought of it like that. Sound is such a subjective thing. I love the sound of St Paul's, very old school but very recognizable. I think of London, where I was born, the sound of victory and whilst I think Yorkminster are heaven it would sound so wrong at St Paul's. I often wonder if the abysmal tower acoustics at Liverpool cathedral will ever be fixed. It would cost mega£s

As soon as i saw the headstocks I though GILLETTS. I checked Dove and sure enough they are G&J I think Gilletts made beautiful bells. This must be one of the last bells cast, im not sure when they stopped casting bells, i thought it was around 1950, but these are 1954
@RingerLuca65118 күн бұрын
These were their last complete ring, and what a masterpiece it was. The only thing that let them down now is that they were rehung by E&S which makes them slow turning and they are a bit quiet in the ringing room but otherwise very ringable and lovely sounding

As the swing increased, when I was pulling the backstroke all the way to the floor, I'd add a little jump as the rope went up, so I could add my body weight to the pull. I could raise my tower's 16-3-27 cwt tenor in 13 pulls if we were in a hurry ;-) It didn't ever go up wrong, so there was no need to check at the beginning. The 5th at the time, 7th now, was much harder to get up right.

I understand that some people might think the bells at Windsor Castle sound awful and that you'd expect Royalty to have nicer bells. Personally, I like the bells. The growly sound perfectly matches the old-style look of the Castle. A bland, modern ring wouldn't suit Windsor Castle at all!

Your striking has come on a lot compared to what I've seen before. You should be very proud of that. If I might give a small bit of helpful advice, just hold off a tad more when you're ringing towards the end of the chance in 5ths 6ths 7ths and 8ths place. Just a hair is all it needs, but otherwise very solid ringing. Well done!
