Glad you enjoyed it

Beverley are far better!

Are you joking, these are old style tuning, Beverley use Simpson harmonic tuning .

Definitely old school bells here and anticlockwise too. Thry sound good for old bells. I have never worked out why some peals are anticlockwise when conventionally bells are.clockwise. You Zyklon be interested in this Thomas, on Sunday the staple on the 11th clapper at St Andrews in Sydney broke, the clapper felt out , smashed the slider in two and the shaft of the clapper has a slight bend it. Good it never hit the end of the frame as that could have cracked the bell.

Thank you! Cheers!

Indeed. Someone asked me if I was ringing in this! I'm not even good enough!

@@RingerThomas The key is not good enough 𝘺𝘦𝘵 - the same can be said for many ringers with the drive and passion to get to that stage (myself included - I am definitely not yet at that level!) but if we keep working hard we'll get there at some point 🙂

@@Steven_Rowe I'd leave the rehang and retuning out of the equation. They are full of character! The ringing room has character as it reminds me of a prison.

@@RingerThomas yes they have charactercwithout a doubt. The prison analogy is brilliant Love it. I heard from Billy Clarke, he said he knows you. He likes ringing at asouthwark, he also likes The Gilletts at Clernkenwell, this is a must ring at as I know you like the s9und of good bells and Clerkenwell are so good..

Yes they are

If you want the eight bell version. Go to St Andrew, Holborn.

@@RingerThomas I think two of my favourite 8s are Jewry and St James Clerkenwell. Clerkenwell are Gilletts & J gems.

@@Steven_Rowe I also saw Billy Clarke on Friday. He said he knows you.

@RingerThomas he certainly does. Billy is a really good heavy bell ringer. I believe he lives in London now. I know he liked Clerkenwell, I don't know if you have rung there but they are beautiful bells.

@Steven_Rowe I haven't rung at Clerkenwell. However, I am ringing at Hampstead, which is a 24cwt eight.

@@Coreytheringer2345 Yes. They are not too bad for Warners. I was expecting worse!

@@RingerThomas tenor 15/1/2cwts

Yes I haven't forgotten.

@@RingerThomas Oh, that's great :) I've got a nostalgic memories with this both churches and it would be nice after years to see this bells ringing :) Can't wait :)

I could try. But I doubt it will happen. They have one bell.

​​@@RingerThomas Ok, so please try to record that bell inside of tower. I'll be so grateful :)

​@@RingerThomas if You could in the video with that bell show the ringing bell and from time to time show photos of church and belfry (I mean bell ropes chamber and some photos of the bell and bell chamber. I can sent You some movie with such footage, if You don't know what I mean) if obviously a montage of this video this way isn't a problem for You. I'll be so greatful for movie with this bell. God bless Yourself! 🔔😀

You're welcome!

They are!

@Steven_Rowe Michael Wilby has turned it in, which there is a video on TH-cam on Jack Gunnings channel. The bell felt quite smooth, although it was a bit weird to get used to. But it was a great experience! I would love to ring it without the strapper next time!!

@RingerThomas Thomas I'm certain you will,don't know if ringing heavy bells are appealing to you, to some they are, I like ringing tenors to Stedman as you can zone 0ur and listen which I like To be honest if I'm ringing inside on a 10 or 12 I like the 6 or the 8th, ie same bell, it is a bit like the goldilocks bell, just right. The first person to turn in Liverpool tenor to Surprise Max single handed for a peal was Peter Border, a rather large bl9ke with lots of stamina. My old man knew him as hexwas in the College youths and apparently when it came round Border had to ask someone to set the bell, he was a bit done in. I reckon a few pints got drunk after that peal. The heaviest bell I have rung is Bow

@Steven_Rowe Heavy bells are something I enjoy doing, although I don't push it. The heaviest I have rung is Windsor Castle tenor to a quarter, which was quite an effort to ring because of how difficult and oddstruck the bell was. However, yes, in the future, I would love to start ringing big bells to things. I found a particular video extremely helpful. th-cam.com/video/ik4KuWgM_g8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vbiEjxhEgkMoFIhl

@@RingerThomas I went to Windsor Castle with my dad in the early 60s, he worked for Whitechapel and was doing some work on them, I often went with him during school holidays. I loved and got to see so much.

You should!

There is a clock bell at the top.
