@EccentricRichard we have a set of 8 taylors and there beautiful from 1915
-
LOUD!
-
@irkibby - the Taylor bells I've encountered have generally been unpleasant and clattery and excessively metallic. Mears and Stainbank bells are more mellow and more musical.
-
It's understandable you think that, being as you are from the south.
-
@acorntechnique - no, it ain't pretty. However, it works, especially from the West: it has one of the most striking of all post-Reformation West Fronts. Inside is where it's really good. The spatial handling, the vistas across and along the cathedral... sadly, the architect made sure that the acoustics were as difficult as possible for the organbuilders! All that sound-deadening plaster in the vaulting... and the organ forced into the worst possible position.
-
@irkibby - I've encountered Taylor bells before and they ain't got nothing on Mears & Stainbank.
-
@EccentricRichard Nothing much. It's just Taylors are better!
-
What's with the hating of Whitechapel bells? Some of the best bells I've ever had the pleasure of encountering was a set of 1890s Mears & Stainbanks...

Thanks for making this video. It helps to see what is going on, which for a new ringer is sometimes a little confusing. Hope you wore ear protection, and that you didn't ruin your camera microphone.

Thats ok- Guildford Cathedral are very proud of their bells (quite rightly so) and so whenever they get any visitors they offer them the chance to go up and see them - as it happens I went up with my friend who was a visitor as I've managed to get videos of them before!
