The New Westley Bells at Lindfield, Sussex

[@PlainBobMinor16]

They sound beautiful

[@simonbellringer]

A nice little documentary - kind of a shame so little footage exists of the old bells, but the new ring certainly sound great! :-)

[@tittums]

I have hundreds of clips of ringing on the front 6. For the last couple of years before ringing stopped they could only ring the front 6 as the back 2 were getting nearly impossible to ring.

Smashing sound.

[@tittums]

I hope not! They have just been cast. Don’t want them smashing already! 😂

[@penarlag1]

@@tittums Hahaha. They seem to be well made. May they ring out for many years. The 4th is given in memory of my Uncle who lived a hundred yards from the tower.

[@tittums]

Wow! They are a very nice ring. With hope we will be up and ringing properly soon. Do you live near the church?

[@penarlag1]

@@tittums No. I live in North Wales but my family live round about. I learnt to ring at Lindfield many years ago.

Sound very nice!

[@chillinbro5423]

these bells are nice

[@BellringerBen]

sound lovely!! why where they lowered in weight? was the tower unsafe or something??

[@tittums]

The original 21cwt 8 were massively overweight for the tower. Our new ring are much better suited to both the tower and the ringers.
