The bells of St John the Baptist, Hatherleigh, Devon
Рет қаралды 1,894
Күн бұрынThe bells of Hatherleigh were cast in 1929 by Mears and Stainbank at the Whitechapel Foundry in London and are a brilliant sounding octave.
The bells hang in a 2 tier oak frame dating from 1883 by Harry Stokes with bells 1 and 3 above.
The internal acoustics are not great for the early bells, especially treble, 2nd and 3rd. They form a challenging ring of 8 but with a fair amount of effort can be rung pretty well.
The whole octave is due to be re-hung, with a new frame, new ringing fittings where required and a new ringing gallery being installed, it will be good to go back once the project is complete to see how they compare.
Ringers in this from Treble to Tenor - Graham Sharland, Alban Forster, Mark Pring, David Crocker, Lee Avery, Ryan Trout, James Grant and Stuart Bennie.
Thanks for watching.

As always your ringing was splendid, but rather you than me! Will be good when the bells are re-hung and rung from a gallery, not nearly so scary!

Nicely done! I've been ringing for 4 months now and I'm currently learning basic call changes. One interesting thing I've noticed here, is that most of you seem to keep the rope coiled in your hands whilst ringing.

Hi Max, yes, if the ropes are too long, always a coil, we don't ring any where near the balance, also in Devon, it's not common practice to put a knot in the rope.
