Hello. Wow. I do love this video. . In my country most beautiful bell towers are on countryside and are made of wood. This also means, that old wooden churches are individual and beautiful. Thank you. Have good day. Matti
Depending on the foundry, the head of the tolling clapper wold be hollow, and there were be a burl of hardwood inserted to give the bell a slightly muffled sound when tolled. Sometimes the burl would have several layers of thick canvas attached to it to soften the sound. The bell in my church growing up had this, and it made for a very mournful sound when tolled for funerals as well as when it was tolled to announce the death of a member of the congregation.
The "J E" on the wall is NOT the builders mark, it's just possible graffiti. Builders marks are carved either into the stonework or carved into one of the bricks before the bricks are fired.
40 meters, that's ok. But it seems not enough bells. I'd like to put maximally additional 5 bells inside and one appropriate carillon/Glockenspiel. And better equipment for bells, too
Wonderful church ⛪ 🙏.
Very interesting presentation !

You're a braver man than I am, my friend, climbing those vertical ladders. That aside, it was very interesting. Many thanks.
That’s quite a large belfry, and looks like a strong tower. Im sure it could accommodate a large carillon of at least 47 bells.
Agreed.
Nice bell🔔
Excellent tour.
Thanks for the interesting tour.
All the bell needs is 5 more friends ;)
I always wondered what the tower looked like. Thanks!
The bell at our church sounds exactly like this bell

Possibly the only place in that massive building that I never went in.
St lukes kinda like my old school…
I miss it so much….

Can you make a video of playing the organ in this church
5:56 he could also pull the wheel instead, would get it swinging higher and quicker
Christ & St. Luke's We still have an organ, they relocated the Antiphonal pipes.
Where’s do you play the Austin Organ

Is the bell moved here from what old church is it called?
The bell was moved here from the Christ Church building originally located in downtown Norfolk.
@@ChristandStLukes Ohh
Does it ring every hour
No, it is not on any automated system, so it only rings when someone pulls the ropes
@@ChristandStLukes i thought like a clock tower mechanism did it
What size is that bell?
That's a great question, Evan. We don't actually have the answer to that right now. We'll post a response if we can get that for you in the future.
I one day want to visit Norfolk, VA and have a church service, greetings from Connecticut
The diameter of the bell must be around 85-90 cm, the weight of it probably 600 kg.
What a pity!
Only one small bell.......
