I have rung there many times as I used to live in Lincolnshire. You weoulod not get deafened out on the west front, the bell openings are bricked up a long way and there's a sound box on the roof of the tower, so the sound of the bells is lifted up and away from the cathedral rather than being too powerful in the vicinity.
These are one of the best rings I've ever rung on - Taylor's in their heyday. They gowell, and they sound nice.
Another good Taylor's ringis ChristChurch, Swindon. Now THEY are GOOD!!

@simonbellringer Did you get to hear these outside?

@irkibby Indeed I did. I heard them attempting a quarter (I think it was Cambridge Max - unsuccesful.) They sound good outside too!!
Did you go on the balcony just outside the RR? The view's AMAZING!! (Ducked in before they rang - didnt fancy being deafened!!)

But as a bellringer of many years, I can tell by looking at the ropes what I should be hearing and it isn't even nearly right!

About one bell out aren't they? Really odd to watch.

Sometimes on YouTube the audio somehow becomes out of syncronization with the video.
