Indeed, very fortunate to have begun my ringing career here and now Tower Captain.

So glad you recorded the wonderful long sustain aterwards. I was expecting a miss and grab at the end.

Ringing down (as you can see from the video) involves reducing the swing of the bells, till they finish mouth down, in doing so the bells ring gradually closer together (quicker).

@@nickpodas5636 yep, in the stage above these bells, also there's the treble for the 12, and two 2nds, depending on whether you're ringing all 12 or just the light eight.

Hello David, I'm interested in the history of these bells after checking Dove. It appears they are a 1946 Taylor 10 which gives a 10, a heavy 8 and also a front 6. It seems in 2004 two bells were added, a treble of a 12 plus a sharp second, which would give a front 8. In 2012 a normal 2nd was added to complete the 12. Can you confirm if im right or wrong.

Yep that's right. The 1946/7 bells replaced a 32cwt 10 by Pack and Chapman.

@@DavidBraunton I bet the old 10 were horrible. It took Taylor's to run with Sumpson tuning that really made the difference. I think without a shadow of a dòubt the jewel in the crown are Yorkminster, the tenors have a deep marvelous drone to them.

AND THATS IT🎉 4:51

Just loved it 👇

4:45 The bells are vibrating

Why do they continue to rock the bells after the last note is struck?

We're chiming them at the bottom, so maintaining a bit of swing to bounce the clapper against the side, then when we're done we just leave them free to swing, but not checking them so they dont speak. The point at which we check may not be the very bottom of the swing, hence some inertia is left and they swing a little when we let go.

@@DavidBraunton oh ok - thank you. I thought maybe it was to reduce momentum on the clapper or something. Very cool video!
