Devon Call Change ringing from Meavy, Devon

This is the super light six at Meavy, Dartmoor, Devon, being rung to a Devon Call Change touch. In my opinion they are probably one of the top light sixes in Devon, being easy to handle and have a very pleasant tone. They were restored by Taylor's in 1933. Ringers in this short film are Suzanne Driscoll on Treble, Mark Lovell, William Carew, Ryan Trout, Neil Holloway and Graham Sharland on Tenor. I hope you enjoy listening

wonderful cartwheel ringing! The conductor's voice is one of the most bizarre things I've heard in a while!

My tower in cornwall uses cartwheels in the ropes! But i dont because whenever i have a loop the bell wont go up to balance and it’s tricky to set so i ring with an open tail end.

Why do they all cartwheel and have a loop wrapped around their hands, very unique!

This is our own very unique art of devon call change ringing, as the bells are no where near the balance we tend to have a coil of rope in our hands rather than put knots in the rope to shorten it, hope that helps
