In the peal I rang here, I made the mistake of not wearing ear defenders. My ears didn't stop ringing for a week afterwards!....

There seems plenty of room to build the frame on one level. Has it been locally modified to fit around a staircase? Some of the fittings look a bit "local" and the rope circle is odd....

[@harrybellringer]

I’ll have to pass on that one. Not a local here so don’t know much about the history of the tower. The only reason I could think of for a 2 tier frame here is to account for the staircase. However, there is a second staircase, which is spiral, which you may be able to see the door of when I’m walking up to the bottom tier bells.

I never known a bell tower has a staircase going around the bells. Great video.

Did you bring your ear protection? 😁

[@harrybellringer]

Plenty of ear plugs were supplied to us! I think ear defenders would have been better though…

@@harrybellringer I bet calling touches there is interesting 😂

@@Ringer_Fran We tried a 120 of Grandsire, for bobs I waved my hand, and Singles, I stamped my feet. You could shout loud and hear it, but needed to save my voice
