You need to go to the Cathedral of Saint Paul Birmingham, Alabama

I got the privilege to ring at York Minster and the views are insane!!

Bells are awesome! ❤️

Sounds like they are ringing Stedman Cinques

The back bells have a nice deep thump to them

Thank you so much!!! There has always been something down deep in my soul that stirs everytime I hear churchbells ring!! It just thrills me and stops me dead in my tracks. It has been a great treat to stumble onto your videos of bell ringing. Thank you again.

I download ringing room on App Store

A really nice vlog. We ring regular in St Peters Drogheda and St Patricks Cathedral Dublin, and then in Christchurch Cathedral, although I am just the driver for my son, I do also ring.

Thank you for the video I love the sounds of bells ringing

Question. We’re they cast in the Uk when this type of ringing originally came from or are they cast elsewhere

Very nice! I’m a bell ringer myself but in the Uk. And I ring at different churches and it’s fun to handle different bells!

Does any church in California have those type of bells?

Is the sacred hearts in Newark nj on the list

May not be known to some, but this Trinity Church is the church that Bob Dylan is referring to in Chimes of Freedom and the chimes we hear now are the bells that - indirectly - inspired that great song back in 1964. The song has been referred to as Dylan's Sermon on the Mount. He describes how he and some friends walking in Manhattan one evening were surprised by a sudden thunderstorm and sought shelter in the church entrance, where the sound of the bells mingled with the thunder and lightening and seemed to him to be tolling for the oppressed, and the death knell of unfairness and cruelty. The inspiration also came from the old song Chimes of Trinity. Far between sundown′s finish and midnight's broken toll We ducked inside a doorway as thunder went crashing As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight And for each and every underdog soldier in the night And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing th-cam.com/video/zDOHhx_dk1g/w-d-xo.html

Beautiful!!

Tower Bells at the University of Washington

Awesome video and a succinct explanation of a hobby I only heard about thanks to the Wikipedia rabbit hole! Do you happen to know if there's anyone in the Nordic countries doing this?

I simply love the toll of a bell before Mass, or upon the hour. The Cathedral of St johns in Boise has a beautiful sound to it. I end up recording it every time I hear tho their all good. lol

This video is TH-cam gold. Absolutely fascinating.

What an excellent video! I've yet to ring in America, but I have been lucky enough to ring the tenor in Liverpool. It is surprisingly easy to ring; very well balanced. The most difficult part is the time the bell takes to spin, meaning that you are pulling the bell a significant time before a bell you are planning to sound after. The ringing chamber is reached by two lifts, once to get to the transept roof, the other up to the ringing chamber.

As someone who is on their second lesson of bell ringing, I found this video extremely helpful for learning all the different terms and processes used in change ringing. The explanations were perfectly easy to understand, having the visual aid of the ringers in action was super enjoyable, and the bells (well, most of them XD) sounded absolutely wonderful! Great job, my friend, and keep on ringing!

Oh, Sara! Thank you to the algorithm gods for randomly placing this on my feed. One of my very favorite voices♥️

Learned a lot, thanks!

Me encantó este videoooo!! fue súper divertido, me hicieron reír mucho, la risa de Sara es pegajosa jeje. El mejor duo de la historia, pagaría lo que sea por verlos en vivo. Son sencillamente encantadores 🤗🥰

It actually looks like something I might enjoy, but I have to ask -- is AARP membership required to participate or something? The demographics look just like shuffleboard or bingo lol

YOU HAVE TO COME TO SEWANEE! Change ringing is a PE credit!

Your voice is like ASMR!!

So nice to see of century's old tradition carry on. Well done all. Oh the art of bell ringer's is called

Good video Kemp. Since I like grabbing towers, it would be good to perhaps do a tour like this in the future.

Did you ever seen the movie SING

Thank you Kemp for this lovely video. It brings back extremely fond memories of ringing at the Old North Church and the Church of the Advent during a visit to Boston in August 2017. I was visiting Boston from Australia. The bellringers could not have been more hospitable They endured far more Stedman Doubles than I would have thought humanly possible, as I struggled to learn singles. I recognised several of those long-suffering Boston ringers in your video. On my last day in Boston, we all gathered near the Market and shared delicious treats on the picnic tables just outside. It remains an enduring memory of that city.

Oh, thank you for this! I've seen National Cathedral but not the others!

This was a fascinating video! I love tower bells and going up into them to see the bells. I've been a life-long handbell ringer since I was a teen, but I'd love to try a change ringing bell. Not sure how well I'd grasp the ringing of a method, but it'd be cool just to ring a bell. When I was growing up, my home church has three bells that are rung by pulling the ropes and I used to love to do that! Unfortunately, my current church has to be electrically struck - the tower wouldn't withstand swinging them. We have four historic bells in our tower. Thanks for sharing this video!

It sounds like Great St Mary's Cambridge.

Thanks Kemp. I found the video useful especially for beginners and people who didn't know about Change Ringing in North America.

Thanks Kemp. I was on a bellringing tour to Canada. We went to Vancouver, Victoria, Westminster Abbey and Calgary in 1975 abd I have been a life member of the North American guild since

twu

are you the one who performed Surabaya Santa in 2012 on a stage? because that was absolutely the best Surabaya Santa Performance I've seen!!

EXTREMELY well done!

I just love church bells they banish any negativity in the air and the house ect😀❤😀

i wish yall could of been in charleston, sc

I lived in Hingham and was married at the Advent in Boston. We had the bell ringers do a special round for our wedding. Advent’s bells have been used for the 1812 finale on the Fourth of July Boston Pops concert. I love this video and the sound of these bells! Thanks !!!

Hi Kemp, I live in England and first learned to ring bells in Northamptonshire. I adore ringing bells and one day hope to ring 12 bells. I was able to ring in The Old North Church on a visit to my mother in Maine. What a thrill that was.
