I rang here in July and it was a fantastic experience. The trebles tend to shout around the ringing room over the other 8 and feel like they are hung in jelly. The large unguided space between the ceiling of the ringing room and the floor of the belfry makes the ropes kick and wobble around everywhere. They are a unique ring of 12!

Oh and remember the front ones at backstroke? They jump around when you pull the backstroke! Actually quite scary

I never got to ring here when I lived in the UK. They sound ok when rung well, but looking on Bellboard, there seem to be very few performances here, one or two a year - are they rung regularly?
