The bells of St Mary, Kingskerswell, S. Devon

The bells of Kingskerswell were restored, augmented, tuned and rehung in a new frame by Nicholson in 2019. They are a mixture of founders with 2 new trebles and the 5th cast in Holland by Eijsbouts, then you have 2 Pennington bells cast in 1815 and 3 Mears and Stainbank bells cast in 1887 and 1937 respectively.
The bells go well and sound pretty good, there is some slight odd struckness but nothing to untoward.
Here we hear only the back 6 being rung as we are currently practising for the South Devon 6 bell on Saturday, 13th May, which is being held on the back six bells at Buckland in the Moor. The Tenor at Kingskerswell is 7-0-3 in G#.

    We did, it wasn't brilliant, I think all the recordings are on the Association website.

    Hi Ryan, as a non Devon style ringer we are practicing 60 on 3rds and wondered if you had any tips. We work on closed handshakes, and back. Bob

    @@ryantrout6094 hi Ryan, am I right in thinking you don't ring particularly fast, just close? When you are called to the front you seem to cut in on the hand stroke, also is it a mith that you don't ring fully up? Also how often do you make a call. Oh and we love practicing this style

    Hi Bob, we do tend to ring the bells a little quicker, so the bells are not as close to the balance as they would be during method ringing. Yes, we always cut in on our handstrokes. Our calls are usually made every other round and only a pair of bells change at any given time. Hope this helps, good luck 👍
