The fourth and final tower of the YCRA Outing to Birmingham.
St Martin-in-the-Bullring in Birmingham have a tremendous sounding ring of sixteen hung on a two tier frame with bells 3,4,8,12,14 on the top and bells 1,2,5,6,7,9,10,11,13,15,16 on the bottom. This makes the bells on the top louder outside than they should be giving an uneven sound. Nonetheless, the tenor sounds loud and sonorous outside and I would say it's much better than Bow due to the wooden shafted clapper being more satisfactory. Inside the bells are crisp and clear in the ringing chamber and they go extraordinarily well!
The bells were cast by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1990 and 1991 and are cast to the Whitechapel Mark 2 Profile. In this video I ring the tenor very well and manage to stand it second time! I hope you enjoy these bells as much as I did! Enjoy the video!
