Devon Call-Changes at West Down, Devon
Ойын-сауық
Devon call-changes being rung on the ground-floor 6 at West Down, near Barnstaple. Note the unusual dedication (St Calixtus) extremely long tail ends!! They go nicely and have a good old-fashioned tone to them. In days of past, this was one of the very top Devon call change towers, and the ringing we had here was of a very good standard!!
Tenor 8-2-3 in Aflat

Is that Margaret white on the treble
8-2-3 is the weight of the tenor, or the biggest bell in the ring. It can be transposed as 8cwt, 2 quarters and 3 pounds, or 433kg in modern weight (Approx 51kg per cwt) The woman calling is swapping bells positions, so "one-three" means bells 1 and 3 swap their positiions so the 3 rings before the 1. This was a slightly different style of ringing for me, perhaps not as exciting as changeringing, but very interesting indeed :)
For an Tyrolean something exciting but for you it is a normal thing... ^^ What does the women is calling? What does 8-2-3 means? Lots of questions i know... ;^)
