Hi JoJo, you can learn to ring at any age. If you go to ltr.cccbr.org.uk you can register to learn and you will be contacted by a ringing tutor in your area. Good luck, hope you start ringing soon!
It’s a little tricky at the moment with the restrictions, but honestly pop down to your local tower on a practice night. I did 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. Off the back of one visit I got a great hobby and some great new friends. Aside from that, young bell ringers are in short supply!

I'm still ringing! I'm the girl in the green jumper. I'm now a tower captain in York but I'm still recognised as the girl who broke that rope once apon a time!
ringing the tenor to triples one night, and I went to pull the backstroke and the whole rope came down and coiled at my feet! turns out it had worn through at the garter hole!
I guess it was lucky that the bell was up at the balance point when the rope broke? If it had broken after you had hauled hard on it, might the bell have gone all the way around and busted something, since you wouldn't have had the rope to catch and slow it down?
She's a good ringer so was pulling just the right amount. Pulling too hard could have broken the stay when the rope broke. The (replaceable) stay is designed to break to prevent any serious damage if/when something like this happens .
Old Clee are an interesting ring...just a shame the ringing room is also used as a kitchen. I remember ringing for weddings there and the dappy old verger used to come in and rinse his cups out WHILST WE WERE RINGING. If everything was cleared out of there there could easily be room for another 2 or 3 bells
This happened to us today, we were ringing for a wedding, the bloke next to me pulls at backstroke and all of a sudden I see a rope come flying towards me 😂we had great fun though
I was ring ing one day and the stay snapped and the coil on my hand was to tight and went up about 15-20 hit my head on the ceiling of the tower and went down again. Scary stuff but it happens!
If you look at the rope you can see where someone has tried to mend it with white and black tape, which doesn't work, especially on a bell weighing over 0.4 ton! We were visiting ringers there and not responsible for maintaining these ropes so we had no idea that it was incredibly weak beneath the tape. She IS a good ringer and rang the bell very well - so well that, as you can see, the bell stood beautifully at backstroke when the rope broke; a less-experienced ringer may have broken the stay, etc.
@@Jackzilla2006 No one know that the rope was going to break. As visitors it was not in our remit to maintain or change the ropes. A non-ringing church official was on hand, so after the break we had access to the intermediate chamber to ring the treble down. As there were no spare ropes present we managed with the broken tail end tied on with a knot - not ideal I know, but as there was a very long draught and no guides it fulfilled its purpose with experienced ringers.
She's actually an incredibly good ringer because the bell didn't move after the rope snapped. The rope is in incredible tension at the point in which it snapped. It can happen to anyone. The fact the bell set itself on her backstroke and didn't continue to ring itself downward shows that her backstroke was indeed, perfect, and the bell was stood brilliantly on the balance. I wouldn't like to try and get it down though.
It's probably easier with the bell moving, because that way either it rings itself down or the stay breaks, which also gets it down, making replacing the rope easier

The world needs to hear more Church Bells.
It’s been my lifelong dream to do this. I’m 30 and I fear it won’t ever happen, but I will gladly watch others carry out this wonderful past time. 💜

Hi JoJo, have you started ringing yet? If not let me know and I'll find somewhere near you where you can get started.
These bells sound lovely
Looks like a fun time was had by all - carry on ringing peoples (from a fellow bell ringer).

@@AllonsyRapunzelGood to hear. The tradition is still keeping alive.

These sound quite nice! Would like to visit someday!
Ringer Brick That was funny 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Yes, they are very nice Harrison bells, and go extremely well for a 13cwt 3.

Matthew Jeffery Well maybe that's the only functional sacristy the church has.
0:00-0:39 sounds like three blind mice
It’s like the soothing sounds of Squodward…
FEEEE GAAAAAAA ROOOOOOOO
What luck it broke just as the bell stoud at backstroke
This happened to us today, we were ringing for a wedding, the bloke next to me pulls at backstroke and all of a sudden I see a rope come flying towards me 😂we had great fun though
The exact same thing happened at breadsall on monday!
superEN30 The exact same thing happened to YOU TODAY
This sounds like a tower on my to do list - hopefully without any rope breaks.

Why would you have a coil in your hand if the bell was anywhere near the stay?
@@stevehunter8473 I’m very tall
1:00 rope break
Oops ^^
I never managed to kill a rope yet ,I use ship tows for ringing in Germany :)
how did the bell stand it self
Because the ringer was pulling the perfect amount.
@@SusieSuperlative oh okay 🤔 there very good old bells they sound quite old
It managed to set itself?!
TB76 Returns i know its strange ive never seen that happen before
@@fredmills368 I seen it happen twice in my life time, Stevenage and Ardeley, both times the bell set. Ringing at Ardeley you had very long ropes.
The bell sound is funny 😄😄
It’s stuck on the ceiling
Is it a practice night or something
An outing
Please upload more
That’s was funny I’m tearing down
For whom the bell tolls.
Well atleast the bell was on the stay so it didnt keep ringing while the rope broke
the same thing happened to the 5th at houghton Reiges
01:00 rope breaks wha wha wha whaaaaa
Almost the end. You think : OK this is click bait. *argh* OH no it isn't.
i bet that sounded odd from the ouside
this room looks like at a kitchen
How did this rope break she can't ring the bell

@@explodinglemons2082 Thank you. Yes, she is a good ringer.
Sorry rosie, but it was funny!
