Bell Ringing - Practice Night at St Mary the Virgin, Rotherhithe

Many thanks to Louise Booth for giving me so much time and flexibility and thanks once more to Father Mark Nicholls who helped arrange the access.

yep, like this one. Lot of interest in the mechanics of the tower and the process itself

[@hereticatious]

Yes - its a rare instrument where the "ding" has no visual or tactile feedback, and the sound is "slightly" delayed by the speed of sound.

That was absolutely marvellous. I should imagine if people see it, they'll want to try.

[@user-nb4ck7ly3o]

I do..🔔✌️😁👌🔔xXx

[@hereticatious]

I sort of wondered how I'd got this far in life and NOT rung a bell

[@hereticatious]

Definitely worth a go - the early mornings are a bit punishing though

[@user-nb4ck7ly3o]

Amazing 👏😁xXx💛

[@hereticatious]

You're very kind - I had such fun making it.

[@kingfisheruk6800]

I am a beginner bell ringer and found this very interesting and helpful. Are we going to see and hear more from the bell tower and this wonderful teacher?

[@hereticatious]

No promises - but I'm working on it...,
