One of the great priveleges of living in my home city of Liverpool, is to walk along the waterfront on a sunny Sunday morning, and to hear the magnificent sound of those bells ringing from that mighty tower - just wonderful! Thank you for your video.

@elafonisi08 That is for Great George

Since I Live in Dorset and it is very unlikely that I will come here, please could someone explain what is so scary about coming down?
-
What's that big thing for in the middle?
-
Thank you. We don't have this in the US. I always wondered how it was done.

61000st!

I really miss bellringing. I used to do it as a teenager then for a year as an adult buy never had time, shame really
-
@kernowoggie oops! I intended to say they DO NOT ring changes in the English fashion. There are some other differences as well. Headstocks tend to be much bigger and heavier adding to the overall weight of what is being "rung". They don't use stays either.

Actually NOT the heaviest ring of bells in the world! If you define that as being hung for full circle ringing then Verona Cathedral tops Liverpool with a tenor weighing 88-1-26 or 4495 kgs. The fact that they are do ring changes in the English fashion is irrelevant, they could be, that is the point. There's an excellent clip on You Tube showing them being rung full circle and demonstrating superb control.

wow, always wondered what these bells were like. Am I correct that the tenor is still the heaviest rung bell in the world at 84cwt?
Makes the tenor in my old place (Carrichfergus St Nicholas) at 13 1/2 cwt seem like a tiddler!

It's actually 82cwt 11lbs but who's counting ;-)
Yes it's still the biggy.

@ProfMoose The largest full circle ringing bell (in part of a ring) is the Tenor at Verona Cathedral-89cwt.

@fartwell2000 Don't split hairs. You know exactly what is under discussion - ringing in the traditional English style.

LOL. Going up was scary. Coming down? I nearly didn't make it! I was absolutely terrified.
