The bells of Petworth, W. Sussex

Petworth, W Sussex, 8-Bells, 18-0-9cwt in E.
Petworth is the archetypical picturesque Sussex village. The parish church contains a magnificent complete Gillett & Johnston octave cast in 1924. Unfortunately for our visit the shutters were closed over the louvers, nonetheless, the sound outside did not disappoint. Definitely a peal of bells to check-out! Watch them being rung by the Devon Wednesday Evening Ringers Association, November 2019.
"Mash-up" footage commences by showing the bells being risen in peal. This is then followed by "Plain-Hunt" call-changes and then "Queens" call-changes. Footage concludes by showing the bells being lowered in peal.
Ringers:
Colin Adams, Scott Adams, Sue Ashton, Kate Carew, William Carew, Robin Canniford, Steven Came, Suzanne Driscoll, Alban Forster, Elaine Grant, James Grant, Stephen Herniman, Tony Jeffery, Christine Ley, Andrew Phillips, Graham Sharland & Victoria Tucker.

Gillett and Johnston knew how to cast bells that's for sure, what a lovely tone! And as usual, superb striking

Incredible!!! Have rung on these bells before and they are MIND BLOWING!!!! Excellent Ringing. They have changed their ropes, used to have full yellow sallies! I miss the old ones.

Just Amazing, i’ve rung here before and yes they have changed the ropes. They are lovely bells. I don’t know if they have shutters because, where the louvres are on the outside is the ringing room level, is pretty sure the bells are behind the clock

I ring here relatively regularly, and once we started ringing up the back ones but the trapdoor was left open by accident! You could actually hear them!
