Whitechapel's Bell | Hidden London Hangouts (S06E06)
In this one of a kind episode the Hangouts team visit South Stoke in Oxfordshire to follow up on a viewer's offer to learn more about bells after our episode on Whitechapel • Elizabeth line: Whitec...
The team explore the bell tower and are taught to handle a bell in a single afternoon. We hear also the Whitechapel Road ringing method, from the artwork at Whitechapel station, played specially for this episode by the bell ringers of nearby St Thomas of Canterbury church, Goring.
With grateful thanks to St Andrew's Church, South Stoke, Robert the Tower Captain and their wonderful team of bell ringers.

What a lovely episode - thanks team! I imagine it was quite physical work, but you all look like you were having a fun day out. I guess peels of bells must be the largest of musical instruments to play. I’m sure Alex could find a far less appropriate way to say that 😊
sadly whitechapel has discontinued making bells
Great work to you all and congratulations with such a learning curve. I was surprised that no-one mentioned dumb-bell exercises. Dumbbells for exercise get their name from people wanting to train and exercise when they could not ring the bells, therefore they had places where weights were substituted for the bells and they could practice and work-out all they liked in peace, hence dumb (silent) bells.
Had a great afternoon session, last friday on hidden london tour to Shepherds bush. guides and Alun were great and normal customers completely ignored us too so shows how routine these visits are now all thanks to your shows and the museum depot too.
I hope that you all had fun doing this.
Guys you go from Strength to Strength and hitting the right note ....
I’ve found on KZread an English dub of Regína a film Siddy starred in 2001
😂That tennor lady joke serious bombed...
As a bell ringer my self this was a very pleasant surprise to watch you covered this subject fantastically and I hope this helps more people to take it up as it's a great hobby 😀
Well done Robert! Lovely to see you in your comfort zone. Such an accomplished teacher. The crew were very lucky to have had the opportunity - and also naturally talented in the craft. Hope they stick at it.
Ding dong well done the team and a nice tie in to Whitechapel .
What a wonderful documentary to watch and learn from. I hope it makes others feel inspired to take up the bell ringing challenge.
I too am a campanologist and you are now tintinabulators. well done.
Full marks as getting near the festive season🎄
The Underground arrives in the English countryside. A really super video - thank you.
Well I never thought that would work so well... I learnt loads and it was great to have our HLH team meet the lovely folk from South Stoke too. I never knew that so many terms of reference used in campanology had such a high snigger-value. Brilliantly done and loved this one. Thank you
Wowsers! Loved it.
Another thing you guys have been able to do that if you had not started Hidden London.
Brilliant video. Ideal for all non-ringers.
Excellent reminder of belling ringing - although I have not actually rung bells I have experienced the process on several occasions
