Apologies for the bad ringing. The tenor has it's clapper on the wrong side!!! Someone did not ring it up correctly. The bells were cast in 1932 by John Taylors and Co of Loughborough. and the tenor weighs 18-2-4 and is in Eb.

The bell to the side was cast in 1846 by Charles and George Mears. It is presumably a remainder from the ring of bells that preceeded these 1932 beauties.

  • The Clapper is faster then the Bell. Thats why it falls.

  • When the person swung that bell higher until it rang full circle, he did not ensure that the clapper was flying to strike the bell instead of dropping onto it. Naughty.

  • These truly are fantastic.

    When you hear it go '758' off the front it's wonderful

  • I am 14 and can ring a 29cwt bell!

  • @WrongAndHome correction 22cwt!

  • @bellminsterboy I'm 13 and I can ring a 24cwt bell upright!

  • @bellminsterboy Well, try ringing up the 20cwt Tenor at Bishopstone single handed... Its tough, but better than having somebody "helping you double-clapper it by moving UP the Tail End (towards the Sally) when you asked him to move DOWN the rope (eg towards the TAIL END!!) and, to cap it all, he then tried to bounce me off the edge of a balcony, which didnt have a bannister , AND i got it up quicker ON MY OWN, after a SEVEN MILE CYCLE!! Now, that would have been wworth watching... Scary though!!

  • I am 12 and can ring an 18cwt bell upright!

  • Indeed!

  • ,

    ... EPIC fail!!
