@irkibby thanks! I'm an American in the Midwest, so hearing change ringing is not easy; I first heard it at the Cathedral of Sts Peter & Paul (commonly known as the National Cathedral) in Washington DC, and enjoyed seeking out churches in London and Christ Church Canterbury to hear it again.
@StarTrekLivz Changes can be rung on any number of bells from 3. However for the ringer it is more challenging and interesting to have at least six bells.
Great vid! Never heard St Chads being rung before. Not the nicest sounding bells, are they? I see Paul was there. Gets around the towers a bit, doesn't he! lol

There are only 4 bells, I thought it took a minimum of 6, and optimally 8 (an octave) to ring changes/

@simonbellringer Hard going but pull hard and you should be ok! Not the easiest of bells i've rung on :-(
