Bell ringing Liverpool Cathedral Saturday 23rd July 2022

Details of the bells here: dove.cccbr.org...
Known as the Barlett Bells, because of Thomas Barlett who helped fund them, the bells of Liverpool Cathedral are the highest and heaviest change ringing peal of bells in the world. They were cast in 1939 by Mears of Stainbank of the Whitechapel bellfoundry but were not installed and rung until 1951 due to the Second World War. The bells sound amazing but the acoustics of the tower are really bad making the individual bells hard to hear and so striking well is more tricky.
In addition to the main peal there is a large bourdon bell rung for special occasions, Great George, named after King George V, which weighs 14 tonnes and is the third biggest bell in Great Britain. Great George was cast in 1940 by John Taylor and Co bellfounders and was cast using the same casing as Great Paul, the bourdon of St Paul's Cathedral in London.
