Clungey Cloonj Doubles at St Brides Major, Vale of Glamorgan

The final video from this year’s Lilliputters Guild Summer Tour takes us back to our first tower - and some of the best bells of the week! St Brides Major are a complete Taylor six, cast in 1939 during the foundry’s ‘golden period’. They really are every bit as good as they look on paper; they sound super, handle well, and feel well looked after. The church dates from the twelfth century, and contains a number of medieval tombs and monuments. Despite a heavy restoration in 1851, it retains a lot of its oldy-worldy charm.
For Tour this year, we rang and christened a new Doubles variation, Union Bob, with Jingle Knockers Singles (yes, really - despite Alford's headshake!), which we named Clungey Cloonj. Don’t ask! The performance was of course recorded on Bell Board for posterity:

The video concludes with some of the lower, filmed from outside, where the bells are clear but also fairly quiet. Please excuse Photobomber Smashley!

Wonderful sounding bells. .
Taylor pre war excellence.
No old bangers here.

Nice sounding bells, but Jingle Knockers is an interesting variation name
