St Peter mancroft bell ringing in the new ringing room (Stedman cinques)

[@RingerJamie]

I was sitting right behind you recording them today evening lol!

[@tazzy1211]

Oh ! That was you, I didn't recognize you lol

[@cherrytreegoats3409]

brings back memories, I sang in the choir from 78-83. A couple of times we went up to see the bells being rung.

[@michaelwoolley7034]

Just come across this
Considering how old the bells are (1775) they sound lovely as individual bells
Why was the tenor replaced in 1814? Did the original break?

[@OwenSimmons323]

Bigger bells sound the worst fastest so if they can keep that sounding good the whole peal usually sounds good

[@RingerJamie]

I ring down stairs mostly in the MRDC but when I do come up o have realised quite a bit of tower movement 😂 I ring downstairs on a weekly basis do you ring here often?

[@willrumsey9178]

They are The best sounding bells in the world

You ain't been to York Minster then?

What about st Mary’s Redcliffe

[@ringeradam4575]

How come there's such a long sally on the tenor? It being only 37cwt does it need it?

[@tazzy1211]

Well it is a big heavy bell it's got a big wheel and that equals longer rope and a bigger sally

[@ringeradam4575]

Not necessarily. I've only came across such long ropes in Exeter and Liverpool (72 and 82cwt) but nowhere else.
Both of Dublin's Cathedrals, both 45cwt, all have equal length sallies

[@AshleyMonck]

It's the same at Waltham Abbey as well. I can't understand why unless it's for grip for a strapper helping raising the bell

[@benkeating4836]

Wondered about that myself whenever I've seen it.

[@chrisstebbings7434]

@@tazzy1211 have you ever rang the tenor since its changed is it hard work still

[@BellringerBen]

Do you have an extra treble there?

[@RingerJamie]

Yep

[@MaxTheRinger]

There’s an extra treble and another bell to ring a light 10
