Bell ringing at Barmouth, Gwynedd

Three leads of Bristol at Barmouth, Gwynedd, a fine ring of eight (22-0-15 in E). The fine church by the architect John Douglas of Chester is precariously perched on the cliff above the town and was paid for by profits from Worcestershire Sauce, apparently!

@simonbellringer These are very nice, a grand old sound. They are a bit loud inside. The tower is absolutely huge, room for plenty more in there!

Bell ends I hate these bells they do my head in

[timmeh1507]

@yaaiknow then don't live near a church, and don't watch a ringing video, and you won't have your head 'done in'!

[timmeh1507]

@KDowner94 Mears 1891 if memory serves me right. They are very nice indeed if a bit loud. A grand old sound!

@timmeh1507 Let's all combine and buy a YouTubers bell (as a treble of 18, to outdo Brum and Perth!!!) Or not.... GOrgeous 8, why ruin them!!! :D

Ye can't wait to move away from these bell and having to listen to this crap every Sunday

These bells in my honest opinion sound completely and utterly garbage and the tenor is so incredibly bad there are many fine churches that I love hearing when they start ringing out Canterbury Worcester and Gloucester Cathedral have really nice bells I remember once having a truly wonderful experience of being outside Westminster Abbey when it was ringing out and my god the bells were sensational and extremely loud to listen to something I will never ever forget such a wonderful experience

Hmmm.... listen carefully - its probably not necessarily the tenor at fault as theres a lot of erratic striking earlier in the changes. Lovely bells
