The KCACR' winning piece in the 2014 Essex Trophy 10-bell competition.
Apologies that the picture is the wrong way round!!

I listen to this superb touch of Stedman Caters every morning when I’m doing a physiotherapy exercise for scoliosis and I have to hang over the side of my chair for 15 minutes, it really sets me up for the day. Thank you. Jane Webster (Founder and ex-Chairman of The South African Guild of Church Bell Ringers)

Impressively beautiful! At th steady rhythm is good to realize that here are professionals at work. The bells are sounding lovely!

[@robertwalker3386]

All the ringers look so relaxed

[@tittums]

Every time I watch this I become even more amazed!

[@benkeating4836]

Came across your channel few months ago, probably one of the best pieces of 10 bell ringing I can find on here.

+maidstone10 Also spotted that Derek J Carr rang the 9th to a peal of Yorkshire Royal here in 1992 - here in Gloucestershire we don't see much of him these days! . great exponent of odd touches of doubles - great fun. Mainly at North Nibley, Glos !

Well struck Such a wonerful 10 Has a warmrh and depth

[@RingerJake]

You like your Stedman don't you? I like my Grandsire Cinques!

[@Steven_Rowe]

Ringer Jake I like grandsire to but I prefer ringing stedman on 10 and 12. The reason is simple, with grandsire it is so easy to forget what your last dodge was and so just hope for a call so you can dodge. Withd stedman you dodge all the time unless your doing the slow work..

[@nord1486]

+steven rowe I find ringing Stedman Cinques hideously boring. As soon as I leave the slow work, I think "God, here we go again!"

[@Steven_Rowe]

smith23 so what do u like Grandsire is boring because its to easy to forget your next dodge. i do like surprise methods but then I always feel that having the tenor behind sounds better and anchors the rythem loke a metronome

[@spuds4t]

+smith23 How about Kent Treble Bob on higher numbers? Much the same - but not quite the music as Stedman!

[@Bumble2000]

I love the Stedman method for its roll-ups and kings, though not quite as much as Rutland! Beautiful ringing. Thank you.

[@robertwalker3386]

[@cliveperryman3242]

[@timothygarrison2080]

10:10

[@spuds4t]

Treble somewhat light set?

[@maidstone10]

No. What makes you say that?

[@spuds4t]

Sorry, I meant the 2nd.

[@maidstone10]

2nd not light set

[@AtTheBellEnd]

@@spuds4t Not at all, I just have a habit of keeping hold of the sally for a few seconds after setting the bell which I hadn't really thought about until now!
