St Paul's Cathedral Bells - Sunday 8th February 2015 - Stedman Cinques clip 1

Starts with the clock chiming 11am then the bells pull-off to ring Stedman Cinques for the Sunday morning service. (The bells are located in the left hand tower.)

I know they are old style bells, some say sound like scaffolding, but being an ex pat in Sydney, these are the unmistakable sound of London to me. On Saturdays dad would often ring the chimes and the banger for Jack Phillips, then of to Weddings at Jewry or the gorgeous Gillett peal at St James Clerkenwell to ring with old Jack Euston who was known as Kings Cross. Funny about that.

How on earth do these apparently sound like scaffolding? I don't think you can really get a better sounding, acoustically correct heavy ring of bells.

[@Steven_Rowe]

@@tuatara77 I said some said they sound like scaffolding I love these bells. They are classic old school bells. To retune them to Simpson tuning would be sacrilege.

I know someone who rings there, I been to the ringing chamber and to the belfry with him but I never rung there. I am in no fit state to pursue with bell ringing at the moment.

[@SJSproductions]

Why were the chimes backwards?

[@TheConsettonian1987]

It's my ambition to ring here at St Paul's one day and they sound fantastic but heavy too and have they got the mechanism on Great Paul fixed yet?

[@jasonburnet9181]

Paul NUFC Smith No. They haven't fixed Great Paul's mechanism.

[@effooo2000]

Paul NUFC Smith that is a very nice ambition

[@gordonsmith8899]

The bells of St Paul's Cathedral are "change ringing"

[@FrancescoBellringer]

Change Ringing is the style of ringing in the uk, with a few towers in other english speaking countries such as the USA or New Zealand. The change ringing bells at St. paul’s are the ones you hear ringing after the clock strike.

[@danjak797]

Wow!
