Ringing at Clevedon, St. John the Evangelist, Somerset

On a ringing outing.

The bells are very different to the last set. the treble is very strange.

I attempted to ring it to Plain Bob Minor, but It managed to Slip the Wheel, and stood itself, so the method was brought to a stand.

The Treble shakes a lot at handstroke. Look at the ringer in the video (who is not me). On it's first pull it must be pulled like Wedmore! Watch the Tuft shake around at handstroke.

They feel very heavy for 6cwt, but not s bad sounding set.

What's up with the Treble then? And what were the others like?

NB: The 'Tuft' is called the 'Sally.'

I' not a "namer and shamer". lol.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure, but they are a bit tricky.

Are these on plain bearings? I've rung on plain bearings before and found those hard to handle, feeling heavier than they were.
