- In this one of a kind episode the Hangouts team visit South Stoke in Oxfordshire to follow up on a viewer's offer to learn more about bells after our episode on Whitechapel • Elizabeth line: Whitec...
The team explore the bell tower and are taught to handle a bell in a single afternoon. We hear also the Whitechapel Road ringing method, from the artwork at Whitechapel station, played specially for this episode by the bell ringers of nearby St Thomas of Canterbury church, Goring.
With grateful thanks to St Andrew's Church, South Stoke, Robert the Tower Captain and their wonderful team of bell ringers.

Ding dong well done the team and a nice tie in to Whitechapel .
I too am a campanologist and you are now tintinabulators. well done.
Love this! No idea what the word means but thank you!
The Underground arrives in the English countryside. A really super video - thank you.
Full marks as getting near the festive season🎄
Brilliant video. Ideal for all non-ringers.
What a wonderful documentary to watch and learn from. I hope it makes others feel inspired to take up the bell ringing challenge.
Well done to the bell ringing team in beautiful South Stoke, where I was born and brought up. Especially to my brother Robert the Bell Ringing Captain. 🔔🔔
Congratulations all.
Wowsers! Loved it.
Guys you go from Strength to Strength and hitting the right note ....
Well done Robert! Lovely to see you in your comfort zone. Such an accomplished teacher. The crew were very lucky to have had the opportunity - and also naturally talented in the craft. Hope they stick at it.
Well I never thought that would work so well... I learnt loads and it was great to have our HLH team meet the lovely folk from South Stoke too. I never knew that so many terms of reference used in campanology had such a high snigger-value. Brilliantly done and loved this one. Thank you
So the answer to Siddy's question at 14:40 What is the origin of sally? Originally the word described the action of the rope jumping up at the handstroke, from the old French word sauler. In modern French 'sauter' means 'to jump'. Later the word was applied to the fluffy woolly part of the rope added to make it easier to hold the rope on the 'jumping stroke'. See my slo-mo sequence of Laura from 27:15 to see the "jump" in action!
Another thing you guys have been able to do that if you had not started Hidden London.
If you have had any doubts about your sanity. You are totally bonkers and we love it. 🏳🌈
I remember Tristan in the original "All Creatures".
Had a great afternoon session, last friday on hidden london tour to Shepherds bush. guides and Alun were great and normal customers completely ignored us too so shows how routine these visits are now all thanks to your shows and the museum depot too.
Great work to you all and congratulations with such a learning curve. I was surprised that no-one mentioned dumb-bell exercises. Dumbbells for exercise get their name from people wanting to train and exercise when they could not ring the bells, therefore they had places where weights were substituted for the bells and they could practice and work-out all they liked in peace, hence dumb (silent) bells.
This is an absolutely fantastic episode, I really enjoyed this one. I live very close to Hull Minster and I love to hear the bells ringing on a Monday evening, this has given me an added appreciation of what they’re doing.
Excellent reminder of belling ringing - although I have not actually rung bells I have experienced the process on several occasions
Finally bell-ringing! 😃
As a bell ringer my self this was a very pleasant surprise to watch you covered this subject fantastically and I hope this helps more people to take it up as it's a great hobby 😀
@Siobhan Lewis I hope you enjoyed it and want to continue 😊
@@lightingkeys 6 bells
😂That tennor lady joke serious bombed...
Great video, thanks! Keeping things mechanical with bells how about a London Carillon hangout?!
25’40. My favourite moment, Sidds x
I hope that you all had fun doing this.
It was great. Thanks to Robert and the lovely team at South Stoke.
Nice episode 👍
What a lovely episode - thanks team! I imagine it was quite physical work, but you all look like you were having a fun day out. I guess peels of bells must be the largest of musical instruments to play. I’m sure Alex could find a far less appropriate way to say that 😊
Let’s be honest. If there’s a large instrument, I’ll find it
Another great episode totally addicted well done 👏👏
Well done. I have learnt a lot more about bell ringing. @Alex, I am guessing this how you sustained the injury that you had when we met recently!
Erm. Yes! You’ll notice I wasn’t pulling Sally at the end of the episode! All healed now tho!
I hope a future episode will see the team ring the whole Whitechapel change (or whatever was on the wall of the station).
An interesting episode, nice to have that connection to the previous Whitechapel episode.
Siddy Holloway,you are looking amazingly Fabolous
Nice Percussions
I’ve found on TH-cam an English dub of Regína a film Siddy starred in 2001
I am 68 years old now, but in my younger days more than 40 years ago now I was a bellringer at my parish church in the Nottinghamshire countryside, so this episode brought back some happy memories. However I have become rather rusty on the technical terminology now. And so here's one for you to answer, Chris - what type of peal were the ringers ringing ? Was it a triple grandsire bob major ?
6:00 The _what?_
The church spire... WHAT
It's a clock, we have them in the countryside too and they work just the same as ones up dat Lunnon.
Townie!!!
Far-ring-ding next,sorry could not resist ,tree felling at burnt oak, weightlifting at ley-ton or visiting a sick vicar at parsons green ,sorry very poor jokes I know but keep up your fun and entertaining videos
brilll
If you hang onto the rope too long, do you go flying up to the ceiling? (Urban myth?)
Yep urban myth. If you encounter the ceiling then something has gone badly wrong and you won’t be ringing again to a while!
You are extremely unlikely to be able to hang on to the rope long enough to be lifted up unless you REALLY intend to do it. All that may head up to the ceiling is skin from your palms as the Sally moves too quickly.
Hi Alex. a trainee bellringer is a tintinabulator and a trained bell ringer is a campanologist. Hope that is a bit clearer.
AHHHHHHHH! Thank you. Being honest, I was pretty crap at it but it was loads of fun!
As a ringer myself, I would argue that a campanologist is someone who STUDIES bells and bellringing - most ringers would not actually describe themselves as campanologists. Great job with this film, thanks to everyone involved in putting it together!
Good video, thank you.
So, if the bell is pulled past the top too energetically and breaks the wooden safety stop, will the rope abruptly disappear through the hole in the ceiling? And can this cause a safety hazard if the rope had been wrapped around one's hand?
One does never never wrap a rope round one's hand, there is a certain way of holding the rope whilst ringing.
Indeed - the rope is only coiled around the hand when ringing the bell up or down.
@@chrisnix6352 6 bells
I have a vague recollection @Alex that you injured your hand / thumb / finger [Insta told me]. The end section while seated on the bench suggested it was your right hand?....
You are brilliant!!!!! I did indeed. Bag of peas was just out of shot… honestly. Two broken fingers. All healed now. ❤
WHAT IF THE CURCH RINGS THE BELLS 18 TIMES ? WHAT DOSE THAT MEAN ?
Your playlist is in the wrong order! I want to watch them ALL!!!! In order!!!!!
The playlist wants to play them in reverse!
sadly whitechapel has discontinued making bells
Has Zoom been ditched now ?
It’ll make an occasional appearance 😊
We'll likely have one more with Zoom and site footage before Christmas and we'll also use it for Patreon stuff too.
Great video but please tell Siddy that none of you have a drivers licence :-). You might have a driving licence, however. 😉
Cheeeeeeky!!
None of you _has_ ... in fact. Unless you're american.
