I rang here yesterday and I think you have done brilliantly to capture these on video. They are so unbalanced in the ringing room and very hard to hear but you can’t tell that at all here! Goes to show what superb ringing this is too!
I really like the tone of these. Very majestic
Super bells and ringing!
Ah finally all 12 !
Beautiful rich sound from those bells
the bells are cast by whitechapel william bilbie thomas pennington thomas purdue mears and stainbank tenor 40-0-23cwts the bells are hung on 3 levels the trebles are cast in 2013 as well as the extra and the flat 6th the 2nd frame in 2014
May I ask (excuse my cluelessness XD) but what are the first 2 words of the video? I always hear that phrase, but I can never make out what the person is actually saying. It sounds like "Look Back!!!" but if it isn't (or even if it is), what on Earth does it mean??
The bells here kind of sound like a mix of the 12 at buckfast abbey and the 8 at St Thomas salisbury
Heard quite a lot of negative comments about these, but from the video it's not at all clear why! A lovely sound with some character too. Cracking!
.new 9th bell added 2014 all 14 bells overhauled and tuned 2014 probably all of them and they were overhauled back in 1931.
Thankyou, it's the first time I have heard all the 12 rang in a quality manner, and what a lovely peal they are
Brilliant to finally have a video of the twelve!
Nice to finally have a video of these on KZread, cheers Scott! One I still need to ring at, sometime. Cracking ringing, as one would expect of course 🙂
Will you upload queen camel and south petherton or not because you filmed them before would be nice to see them again
Oh you got Yeovil oh I thought you only got Sherborne Abbey on there I think there next tower is Queen Camel and Wrington or Bath Abbey. Wrington there heavy thats a 10 bell tower 36cwt in Db similar to Queen Camel tenor there a Lovely 10 but not better than Evercreech 10 bells there much lighter that's 21cwt in Eb but I do love Wrington bells they look nice there a Lovely mixture of bells in Somerset but I don't think there not going to ring there might be Evercreech or Bath after Queen Camel. Yeovil are also now a good mixture of bells used to had 10 bells until 2013. the 10th bell is 17cwt in E and 11th is 24cwt in D
