Clifton, York

Ringing a disasterous touch of St Martins on the small six of SS Philip and James Clifton, in York. With thanks to Lilah (waltzplayer) for making the video while I rang!

1,2. 1978 - John Taylor & Co
3-6. 1937-John Taylor and Co

The tenor weighs 3-1-23 and is in Eb

This is ringing during the tour on the Northern Universities Association weekend in York. Thanks must also go to the bloke on the ladder who gives us the finger.

It's not that disasterous Kibby! Could be better but certainly not that bad. And that's Theo on the ladder, he's one of the Leeds lot. (P.S. to those who don't know me: I'm the bloke conducting this. Doesn't my voice just grate?!)

@lunaticonthegrass111 Ah yes, I knew that was Theo showing the world his middle finger from the ladder

@anonmonen Indeed. I like these, but I prefer the light sixes at nearby Strensall and Rufforth. A job well done though. But I would like to have rung on the old six at Clifton (10cwt and on two levels in a timber frame).

@fartwell2000 Yeah, as I thought, they are turning a little slow..........

@anonmonen I've lost a 1/4 here! Bells hung out a bit and with large wheels.

What a pretty little sounding ring!!

[anonmonen]

Good clappering, you can hear the trebles which is normally a problem on small bells!

Nice bells these fun to ring I wish they were in a campanile tower on my house heh.
