It was lovely to meet you too - hopefully I look a bit more familiar in this video than my Liskeard effort! Hope to ring with you again at some point. (Currently I am in Cornwall for the week - St Keverne and St Stephen in Brannel tomorrow... the wrong end of the county for you!)
@@bellringer22 I don't ring there but the bells are available and rung fairly regularly - contact details can be found on the Gloucester & Bristol website 🙂
These are quite a nice ring of five! Odd how you have the front 4 bells all swinging the same way but I guess thats because of the odd ringing circle. These have quite a story then...
They are very pretty, and now actually worth ringing on. The odd ringing circle is exactly because the front 4 bells all swing the same way together - a quirk of the old frame and I think so the rope circle didn't block the throughway into the church (as access is only via the West door underneath the tower - so the ropes arced out of people's way). Every tower has a story, some more interesting than others!... :-)
Thank you - yes, it is a bit of a shame, but not bad considering it was right next to the 4th. There wasn't really anywhere I could balance the phone otherwise without giving no view of the bells, the cubby holes in the tower walls were all at the wrong height!
Great job! also nice to see Tom Blyth continuing the use of HMA green, who his first bellhanging job was with
It was lovely to see you simon. Thank you for a lovely visit to St Petrock’s. Hopefully see you again soon.

@@simonbellringer i like that dog
I must say they sound pretty good for a ring of 5
Does anyone know of any churches in or near london where you can visit the bell tower
Good video. Shame your phone distorts the bells.
