Just after I started ringing I was invited to an outing here. I found them surprisingly easy to keep control of although I don’t think I’ll be back there in a hurry!
They're fine, if you handle them properly! I don't mind long draughts - they tend to be more predictable (albeit they look more daunting) than the really low ones (e.g. Ringmer!)
Gillets. BEAUTIFUL. How tragic that Bow got bombed during the war. What the hell was Hitler thinking of? He must have had a bad moustache day or Eva told him she had a headache. I hated long draughts, I remember looking up at the ceiling of a ringing room one day and thinking OH CRAP, the americans are thinking of landing a man in the belfry, and no rope guides.
Blimey, that was quick! Peculiar in terms of what - the positioning (on the South side of the church), yes, somewhat. A shame it doesn't have a heavier ring of bells really, it's a huge tower!
Rung Here!

They look like my sort of bells Simon! 😝
Ha - you'd have the time of your life here!
Very different to east Grinstead isn't it?

Similar to swallowfield you going to the roadshow in london
Afraid I'm not! I'm sorry to be missing it
Peculiar tower design🤔

Yes the different size and shape buttresses and the positioning of the tower itself
theobellringer I was told that the church has a concrete rendering on it. That makes it look a bit green/gray ish colour
Oh okay, that’s why it’s a strange colour
