some rounds before a successful half course of Cambridge Maximus at a Saturday practice. I absolutely adore these bells, for all their difficulties, mainly the audibility - as can be heard, the sound is almost impossibly indistinct. However despite the weight the bells handle as well as any and the sound is phenomenal. The bells were cast in 1939 by Mears & Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry but due to the onset of the Second World War, they were not rung until 1961.

  • Do they often ring the 12 for practices, i hear they are short of ringers these days.

  • I think it varies quite a lot. Whenever I've been there's usually been loads, but sometimes there have only been 10, which I would absolutely love as it'd give me more of a go! But of course that never happens! As for not filming the method, I was on a weekend away and trying to get all the towers I was ringing, and have only 8 mins of film memory on my camera.

  • the heavier bells seem to hum in an amazing way.. did you go up to see the bells like i did? an amazing experience!

  • I saw them the first time I went and they were half muffled. The sound was absolutely amazing and I regret not taking a video. You could actually listen quite comfortably without fingers in ears then.

  • nearly forgot to ask, why couldn't you film the method ringing?

  • I went up when they wer'nt muffled.. - boy were they loud!

  • I found if I turn my headphones volume down really low, I can hear almost every bell when you were ringing rounds.

  • The digereedoo as I call em!
