The bells of St Mary, Callington, Cornwall

The Town of Callington lies approximately 14.5 miles North West of Plymouth and is in the East Cornwall district. A market Town with an ancient history, some good pubs, The Bulls Head and The Cornish Ancestor being amongst the best, the later being a new micro pub with excellent real ales and cider.
The 8 bells were re-cast by John Taylor of Loughborough in 1974 and are hung in a cast iron frame for 8. The bells are lovely sounding but are somewhat odd struck, especially around the front end. in this video we can hear the back 6 being rung to some Devon Call changes.
Tenor 12-3-8 in G.

@@ryantrout6094 could you make a video of all 8?

[@DevonRingerEwan]

Lovely sounding peal of bells especially as the back 6. Lovely striking as always, will look forward to hearing your peal at Kentisbeare on Saturday 👍

[@ryantrout6094]

I'm hoping we can re-create something like this on Saturday, but who knows, up against lots of good teams and although Kentisbeare are nice, they will pose problems

[@DevonRingerEwan]

@ryantrout6094 Kentisbeare are nice bells mind but I have had a few problems with them myself. Still, best tower picked for a final for a while.

@@ryantrout6094Will you upload your Kentisbeare video?

[@ryantrout6094]

@DevonRingerEwan yes, I will be, just haven't had much time recently

Lovely little 8 they are!!!!!

[@alisonalcock5218]

Lovely ringing and bells. What is making that thumping noise? Not that it spoiled your beautiful ringing, it rather added to the rhythm!

[@ryantrout6094]

We thought it was one of the ropes knocking on the guide or on a flapper board perhaps

Hi. I hope Roger is OK? Haven't seen him for a while 😊
