Ringing the Changes at Lincoln Cathedral

Inside the cathedral, the bell ringers are doing their Sunday morning routine of ringing the changes. On a bright, sunny November morning, it was wonderful to listen to.

@simonbellringer... Thank you! Do I assume, from your username, that you are a ringer?

This cathedral is definitely the best of all the United Kingdom. A love these three towers. And it has wonderful bells.

@captaincook71 Thanks for calling by and thanks for your message.

@pusserhill Just a question, in many English cathedrals, there is still the jube between the nave and the choir, is it the case here?

Actually it's typically English, in all our French churches destroyed that barrier.

[pusserhill]

@captaincook71 Yes, the jube, or as we know it, the Rood Screen is still there in this cathedral. In this building, it contains the organ also. There are photos of the interior available to view online, you just have to search for them. Type in Lincoln Cathedral and select the images tab.

I loved this Cathedral. The architecture was magnificent and I was left speechless. I was not there to hear the bells ring. Thank you for posting this lovely music.

@javajunkie101 You're welcome!

Well, I dont live directly near the cathedral so when I hear the ringing, its a good but short distance away. Lets just say its a nice way to start a morning :-)

One of the worlds most beautiful cathedrals

[captaincook71]

@pusserhill Ok thank's for the good translation. It's strange, it cutes the nave by the middle and nobody can see the office?

it's as the last Royal Wedding, we saw it on the TV but whom who where in Westminster's nave saw it?

Lovely touch of Stedman cinques being rung

@pusserhill Yes, I am a ringer in Swindon, Wilts. I rang the bells here about 2 years ago, loved them to bits!!!

[simonbellringer]

Nicely taken, both the cathedral and the bells here are gorgeous!! :)

@captaincook71 That's very true about the church's in England, the Normans were master builders, unique architecture.

[captaincook71]

@claptonbrucebaker Yes, old gothic cathedrals or almost are wonderful (we can't say it for the new ones, as Clifton Cathedral in Bristol or things like that). England has wonderful cathedrals. The lone problem of our French cathedrals is that we've only two towers, and not three (or just in Normandy), as you have, in the middle of the transept. And the England's problem is that many little churches around cathedrals aren't used anymore for religious services, just as in Norwich, for example. :)
