The Bells of East Dereham, Norfolk

St Nicholas church in East Dereham, is located right in the centre of the town. The tower is detached from the church and holds a ring of eight bells. The tenor weighs 22-3-21 and is tuned to 'Eb'. The bells are rung from the first floor ringing chamber and is reached by a wooden staircase in the corner of the tower. The front seven bells are cast by Whitechapel, over a period of about a century, coming under the names of Thomas I Mears, Thomas II Mears, William Mears, G Mears & Co and Lester & Pack. The tenor was, I suppose, recast in 1957 by John Taylor & Co and is a very fine bell.
The peal was last rehung in 2013 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry Ltd. They are a very easy ring of bells, and sound lovely.

I do not live more than a dogwatch distance from St. Nick's, but I do remember hearing the bells some time back. Perhaps in these times, we need to hear something worthwhile instead of the garbage being bandied around.!! Thank you for the pleasure.!!

They are up there with some of Norfolk's finest! Makes me wonder what could be the future for the ring there as the bells are hung in a 10 bell circle and the rope spider has 10 hooks on! There are some dumbbells there I believe so it could be that but it did make me wonder...

[@RingerMax09]

The 10 hooks are made for the dumbbells but are tied on the bench because it confuses some people
