They're being rung a bit rapidly, for their size!

I have measured the peal speed as 2h55, so not too fast, and only 4 minutes faster than the only other peal on the ten bells. Ringing tends to sound quicker when the number of bells increases.

@@lovesguide I know (about it sounding quicker etc.) I'm not as green as you imagine. I didn't measure the speed, but felt that they sound a bit hurried.

It's always nice to hear well s5ruck ringing, it's painful to the ears and the soul to hear bashing around.
Having said that I'm no fantastic ringer either.
