@simonbellringer they're OK but I do think if the tenor was replaced with a bell that's the right kind of weight (7-8 cwt) for the note, and a bit better in tune, they would be much improved.
@wezchef well in Mid-Wales there are so many, often just very small, humble buildings in magnificent situations. This isn't a particularly special church but the siting of it is stunning!
Yes! They are a bit loud and piercing. I like towers to be quite loud though, it annoys me when good bells are shut away so you can't hear them. However that's unlikely to happen here!
A bit too loud though. I dont like them too quiet either. Its a shame though about it being so loud. Quite a few people from welshpool complained about headaches after ringing there - i wonder why!
so did I, but i would be inclined to put down some soundproofing and perhaps replace the tenor, which is a bit of a bucket, with something slightly heavier. If I had money...
Never mind the church - the bells sound pretty grim themselves!

the 5 and 6 are old and perhaps one of the others. It's too light really for A.

the bells were nice to ring, but they could have put in atleast a bit of sound proof stuff and a carpet up there!

if it weren't for the noise, they'd be really nice for a peal, but you'd have blood trickling from your ears after 2 and a half hours!

Poor neil, he rung them for a peal - with earmuffs on!
