Filmed 22 Jan 1994. Cast by John Taylor & Co in 1925 and weighing 191-1-19 in Eb, Great George is Britain's 7th largest bell and is hung in the Wills Memorial Tower of Bristol University.
Ah the 'secret' ringing room which appears to be at the top of the stairs XD

Amazing how the ringer can get a 2 ton bell going by adding a just a little pull on each swing. It must have really good bearings - not much friction at all.

More than 2 tons, it’s about 9.5.

I've had a question appear on my Great George video which I'm sure someone in Bristol can answer: how was Great George actually brought into the belfry? Up through the building or as I suspect, hoisted outside and in through a window?

I think it was up through the building as can be seen in one of the pictures. bristolbells.weebly.com/other-bells-m-z.html#uni

A very talented and beautiful bell, but people and the bellringer should wear earmuff to protect their hearing
