The Bells of Pulham St Mary, Norfolk

St Mary the Virgin's Church in Pulham St Mary holds a ring of eight bells. The ringing room is accessed by the infamous wooden steps up the wall of the nave, and certainly is not a tower to visit if you aren't a fan of heights! The bells are not rung regularly, and are particularly hard to ring and strike well, with a certain amount of oddstruckness throughout the peal.
The ring of six bells were cast by six different founders. The treble by John Thornton in 1717, the second by William Brend in 1611, the third recast by John Taylor & Co in 1963, the fourth by John Magges c1470, the fifth by John Goldsmith in 1708 and the tenor by Thomas Newman in 1739. This ring of six were then augmented in 1895 by John Warner & Sons, to form the ring of eight present today.
The tenor weighs 14cwt and is tuned to F. Recorded during our summer tour of Norfolk in 2023.

​@@francescogreenslade7793 I disagree! At least the back 6 at Norton are relatively tuneful (the tenor helps). These are just eight individual pots roughly in the tune of an octave 😂

Nope. Warner trebles, with a very mixed back end.
