Ringing Stedman Triples at Fenham, Newcastle
Музыка
This unusual church, built as a memorial to the donor's two sons, contains a glorious ring of eight by Mears & Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, cast in 1930. One of their early harmonically-tuned rings. There are a further 9 chiming bells and the whole lot can be chimed from a clavier. There is even a practice clavier in the ringing chamber which uses tubular bells! The ringing bells are superb in every way and are fortunate to have excellent acoustics which gives them a real presence despite not being heavy. The tenor is 14-0-10 in F.

A nice sounding ring of bells 😊
Lovely musical ring. Perfect striking. Haven’t rung in years. Makes me want to rediscover it. ❤

They are stunning in the metal, well worth a visit.
Having learnt to ring at St. Georges in Jesmond, I used to also ring at Fenham on occasions. Beautiful peal of bells and lovely to hear Stedman rung well on these bells. Such a glorious method when rung properly.
What lovely bells and how nice are harmonically tuned bells. Surely in my opinion the very best are Yorkminster, for some reason those pre war heavy tenors had a wonderful drone to them.

These have a weird echo sound! But I like it!

These are a superb set of bells. Perhaps the echo is partly that my back is to the stairs and the door was a bit open?
