The bells of All Saints, Long Ashton, Somerset
The bells of Long Ashton form a good heavy 8 but are still somewhat a challenge to strike well.
The bells are by a mixture of founders but are crowned by a 1903 Taylor Tenor, which weighs 30-3-23 in the key of Db.

Lovely bells full of character and splendid ringing as always
Long Ashton are fabulous sounding bells and I love that Tenor. Pity you didn't record outside, they are absolute MAGIC.
Wow, fantastic effort. Your camera has brought out the majesty of that tenor bell. Again, really really good stuff! I always look forwards to your videos.

@Martin Hough These were sadly beaten by Bristol Cathedral in the eight bell category back in lockdown on bellringers. I've rung at Bristol Cathedral, they are okay sounding bells, but Long Ashton wipe the floor with them!

These are far better than Bristol cathedral bells these have better tonal qualities and go better than Bristol cathedral bells which in compassion there’s feel like they need work doing to them and sound awfully dull compared to Long Ashton.
The ringer of the 6th's backstrokes were slow and should've been corrected
