@@kiwibellringer9729you are correct, they are BLOODY AWFUL, even steel bells sound better. Taylors overhauled them in 1923, but obviously they were not retuned.
I’ve rung here before and I thought they weren’t too bad. Although some of the sallys are ridiculous low. Matlock are worse so never go there as they are horrible sounding and really odd struck. Go to Darley Dale instead of Matlock if you go.
@@Snomsmis they are somehow “listed”…. God knows how they got on the list. They’re interesting for being shite, but otherwise I’d have them smashed up. To be fair they should be kept though for their shitness alone! 🤣
James Harrison the cymbal bells I call em. Thry sound better as the clock chimes than full circle but are historic significant.
Least buckety Harrison bells:
Rang here. Best 8 eight in Castleton thats for sure!
Lovely bells😂
@@DevonRingerEwan was a highlight of the trip 🤣
@@kiwibellringer9729 I have always wanted to ring here
These sound amazing
yep, no bells quite like them !! 😂
@@adamm2693im actually being serious i love the sound of them
I agree, and without sarcasm, just a break from the typical "nice" sounding sets. I really like these kinds of unusual sets more than the tuned sets.
All of you, get your ears cleaned. They are absolutely abhorrent 🤣 but I get the point about them being different!

Sound like buckets made from tin
The most tuneful bells I have ever heard. 😂
Lol 😆
I wondered, do they handle awful as well or are they ok?
They’re a little heavy going, but otherwise ok

Darley dale are also pretty vile.
Ahh, don't sound nice xD... But the ringers do a good job! Are these bells historic?
The bells 1 and 2 were cast in 1812, and bells 3-8 were cast in 1803 all cast by James III Harrison. All bells are listed according to doves guide.
