Lincoln Cathedral Bell Ringing

A short clip of Little Bob Royal being run at Lincoln Cathedral. I hadn't realised how big the sound chamber was and that the bells are hung quite a way below the tower louvres. Tenor weight 23-3-13 cwt or 1212kg. A complete John Taylor peal, the back eight were cast in 1913, four trebles were added in 1927 and flat 6th in 1946 ( to make a middle eight with 9th as tenor)

Thanks for making the video. I visited the bell chamber decades ago but for whatever reason didn't take photos so my memories of the bells and roof above had pretty much gone. Beautiful bells, important to Lincolnshire

Hopefully if my replacement phone/videoing equipment doesn't distort, I'll try and get another one of all 12. It's an immense sound chamber, but just part of the treasure of Lincolnshire!

wow, I wonder why these are some of my favourite rings of twelve in the uk, cause they sound beautiful and are perfectly tuned

[@maidstone10]

One of my absolutel favourite rings of bells

[@c-historia]

this is awesome!!

[@Ringer_Fran]

Lovely sound - based purely off of sound I'd say the 10 have the edge, but I have not yet rang here. Would love a visit someday!

Beautiful ring on 10

[@adriansunman51]

They are very fine bells, but then I am a little prejudiced.

[@christianong3703]

Lovely peal but shame there lower down

[@RingerThomas]

It's a bit Like Westminster Abbey.

[@DavidBraunton]

I suppose, but Taylors have much more hum.

[@RingerThomas]

@@DavidBraunton I meant that comment by where the bells are hung and not how they sound.

[@gustavoceballos5327]

Why aren’t 3 of the bells working?

[@DavidBraunton]

They're ringing 'Royal' or 10 bells, there's two extra for ringing maximus or 12, and a flat 6th for ringing a middle eight with number 9 as tenor.

*VOLUME WARNING* ⚠️

[@DavidBraunton]

I'm afraid it's the recording device, it doesn't cope without distortion, turn down to about 50-60%.

@@DavidBraunton nice bells they sound similar to gloucester cathedral those are in Eb

[@DavidBraunton]

@@user-sn1qx1tm4l they're quite a bit more in tune than Gloucester (relatively a modern peal), these are slightly deeper in D.

[@AshleyMonck]

@@user-sn1qx1tm4lthey’re more like Newport Cathedral and Christ Church, Swindon
