Westminster Abbey, London: 10-bells, 30-1-15cwt in D.
Rung by the Devon Call-Change Ringers: New Years Day 2017.
Upload comprises a "mash-up" of footage showing Devon Call-Changes being rung on the Abbey bells. Footage also shows rising and lowering the Abbey bells in peal.
Sincere thanks are given to Mr Jeremy R Pratt (Master) and Mr David Dearnley (Secretary) of the Westminster Abbey Company of Bellringers for granting permission for the band to ring and for the warm welcome we received. This is the first time in history that a "Call-Change" team has been allowed to ring the bells of Westminster Abbey. It was a wonderful honour, albeit a little nerve-racking. The bells are delightful Whitechapel ring cast in 1971. Several new friends were also made including David Hilling, S Clarke Walters and W John Couperthwaite.
RINGERS:
Colin Adams, Scott Adams, Sue Ashton, Lee Avery, Nicola Bennie, Stuart Bennie, Steven Came, William Carew, Suzanne Driscoll, Steven Facey, Alban Forster, Elaine Grant, James Grant, Stephen Herniman, Tony Jeffery, Christine Ley, Sam Massey, Philip Morse, Andrew Phillips, Graham Sharland & Martin Sharland.

It's nice to see this tradition is still going. Unfortunately, most church bells around here are either rung electronically, or the sound itself is digital.

I always feel so emotional listening to the bells. I used to ring the Tenor.

Beautiful ringing as always. I would, however, liked to have some longer periods of uninterrupted ringing.

whenever the tenor -1 place is leading in devon call changes, i always have to think about if the tenor has been called under the tenor -1 bell, or if it leading. great ringing tho. (tenor -1 in this instance would be the 9th)

@user-jq8jy8ld4u 7 ай бұрын

Is there any differentiation within the church year, e.g. between ordinary Sundays and Solemnities because in continental bell ringing some vary with the number of bells? Is there an intention to let the listener know if it is Pentecost or a Sunday within Advent tide?

1:28 why do the devon call change ringer do this like they pull the rope twice then ROUGHLY pulls the rope of the bell (just asking btw)

@victoriatucker1106 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! That’s the start of the rise - you swing the bell twice to get some momentum, then on the third swing you check the rope to make the clapper make contact with the bell.

the change ringing bells it's hard or easy?

@JohnJames-nl8ji 5 жыл бұрын

It's not easy, you have to learn the very precise method to ring them, and it's difficult to know when and how fast to ring your bell. The whole thing has to be very precise and coordinated or it sounds terrible.
