I like these. Sound a lot like the eight at St Mary’s.

This uses the same chime as Canterbury Cathedral.

Thank you. Through your comment, I was about to discover that the chimes play "The eighth Gregorian tone". kent.lovesguide.com/gallery/canterbury_cathedral_arundel/006.jpg

The rhythm of the chimes seems very unsteady, much more so than I remember during my years as an undergraduate at Merton back in the 1970's.

[@RingerJack]

I've been there

[@ringerpaul3118]

Is there anywhere you haven't been?! I believe they ring from open galleries around the walls there? Scary!

@@ringerpaul3118 I haven't rung there before. But I might ring the 48 Cwt Tenor at Worcester Cathedral in 7 days

[@ringerpaul3118]

@@RingerJack WOW, that's exciting. I rang the tenor at Yarmouth up twice (30cwt).
