An audio excerpt of a quarter peal of Grandsire Major at Acton, Greater London rung on Sunday, 2nd June 2024. This time, we scored on the second attempt! Acton Church boasts a peal of eight old-fashioned bells that emit a rustic sound, requiring considerable effort to ring well. These bells, a mix from various London founders, harmonize effectively despite their diverse origins.
Ringing these bells demands persistence and hard work to achieve quality ringing. However, their distinctive and rich sound makes the effort worthwhile. The quarter peal of London Bob Triples demonstrated the ringers' skill and the bells' ability to blend harmoniously.
In summary, Acton's bells provide a memorable ringing experience with their rustic charm and the satisfying challenge they present.
Tenor 13¾cwt in F.
