Bell Ringing at St Mary, Redcliffe, City of Bristol
Фильм және анимация
The fifth and final tower of the YCRA outing to Bristol.
St Mary, Redcliffe in Bristol have a superb and glorious ring of twelve bells, with the tenor weighing at 50cwt. They are the best sounding ring of bells in the key of B. The bells were cast in 1903, 1951, 1969 and with the 8th recast in 2012 by Taylors. The 10th was cast in 1763 by Thomas I Bilbie and the eleventh in 1622 by Roger I Purdue. The bells blend together beautifully, and form the magnificent peal of twelve they have today.
The bells go extremely well, with barely any pulling required, they are easy and very nice to ring and are worth ringing well as they are very unforgiving. That said, the acoustics are excellent in the ringing chamber, with the back bells not drowning out the front bells, they are a very audible ring of twelve!
Here is a touch of Stedman Cinques conducted by Simon Linford. Enjoy!

aww they replaced the big stone box for the 11th!!
Great ringing and a truly special Taylor 12! These along with Bow are the 2 best rings in a church in my opinion
I love the little model bell!
