We join the bells at Chesterton during a quarter attempt of Plain Bob Minor, preceeded by some opening rounds on the back 5, plus downwards on 2, 4 and 6.
The bells themselves are a pretty decent, boomy and meaty 6, the spire possibly contributing to some interesting accoustics - listening back to them with headphones helps to bring out the deep tones and hums. They are hung quite snug below the spire in an H frame which is situated above two relatively substantial intermediate floors and quite a tall ground floor ringing room - probably 20ish foot.
The ropes when we visited were quite springy and the tenor was challenging when turning it into minor compared to the front 5 - the striking wasn't quite on point either. A very nice and rewarding 6 though - would happily try for another quarter.
