GTFU!!!!
Filmed midday, Tuesday 4/6/13.
Finally grabbed her! This was of major importance to me as I am from around the area and have a massive interest in local history and church bells, so this was an experience not to be sniffed at for me, as I have wanted to step foot in the tower since the age of 11, hence why I have filmed a lot in the ringing chamber as the whole place astounded me, however the presence of ex-bats and crows wasn't so charming.
Me and my partner in crime managed to free the ellacombe and clock hammer and oil the bearings so the bell could be raised, and as you will see, with great ease!
We, in the end, gave up on trying to ring it up right, and just got her up. It's a shame really that this bell isn't joined by a lighter five, as I'm sure they would be a smashing ring.
The bell isn't in the best of health, and is extremely difficult to ring, and if you take your eye off it for one second, you know about it, as you'll see towards the end of the video as i didn't pull the previous handstroke and slip-wheeled her :/
I would like to thank Helen Rigby for assisting me, and Fr. Peter McEvitt for allotting us time to observe and ring the bell.
Enjoy.
