John Taylor & Co. Church Bell Test Ringing

This is a test ringing of the bell from my church that I restored. It was made by "John Taylor & Co." in Loughborough England in 1956. The bell is now installed in a tower and I will post a video later of it ringing from the tower. Note the arched headstock and counterbalanced clapper. The bell is tuned to the key of E and weighs almost 4 cwts.

Very nice tone. Strange that it would have an American-style balanced (arched) yoke. They make the bell peal too slowly, but it is the only yoke available over here.

Taylors always use arched headstocks on single swing chiming bells, They only use straight headstocks on change ringing bells. Look up the video "hosanna buckfast abbey" and you'll see that the bourdon bell swings on a arched headstock and the full circle change ringing bells swing on straight headstocks.

No, it swings too slowly, the clapper assembly would not clapper correctly if it was rung full circle , and also there is only one bell.... there is only one change that can be rung with one bell... 1!
