My home tower when not at Uni. Since I'm writing this in late November, I haven't heard these for over 2 mouths and I'd forgot just how good they are!!!!
To clear up some questions on this page.....There are no bells in the North (LH) tower, but I do know it's used as a music practice room, so there probably is a piano there. The central tower has a sanctus bell used when there's no ringing before a service. 6,7 and 8 have a draught of about 12 feet, the others are about twice that.
that is highly unlikely to happen, there's nowhere to put one for starters, and also the area around the cathedral would probably be a protected/conservation area.
nice ring of 10 here heard them but never rung them, just curious which tower are they in? and are there any other bells ie chiming bells in the other towers?
They are in the tower on the right! as for the other towers I think the central tower is just a lantern to let light into the crossing. Apparently the other tower has a piano in it, but I don't know about bells!
The ring of ten are very nice, but the rope circle is a bit difficult, the 7th is very far in a corner and the rope comes through the clock case, and from the 5 you can't see the 7 through the ringer of the 6!
sound good - what they like to ring?

@KDowner94 alright but not the easiest, the rope circle is odd because they are in the original frame which causes some ropesight problems.

@lunaticonthegrass111 oh they are nice but I didn't much care for the rope circle and they aren't the easiest!

@timmeh1507 Does this mean the 7 has a short draught?
I DO love the sound of these though!!
