A fantastically fun clonky old 10... Regretfully on our visit the 7th was out of action due to a crack in the old wooden headstock...
Rung on the Friends of Dorothy Society's tour to Hereford 2013.

That 8th makes a hell of a racket and sounds like a frying pan despite it being 1953 mears

Shame I can't afford to live in UK, I would like to have gone on some of these tours with FODS! Especially that Bristol tour couple of years back. This is most unusual ringing chamber I have ever seen! Hope that 7 headstock can be replaced soon!

Tatsuhiro Sato It has been replaced =)

[@dragonurbex9787]

I can see Dickon Love on the tenor :)

[@fredmills368]

Ive rang that tenor

[@jasonburnet9181]

Whats the thumping noise?

[@anonmonen]

Ringer Jason The bells are right above you, the uprights you can see are supporting the bell frame, so inevitably the sound travels down... including the knock that happens when the clapper hits the bell, that you wouldn't normally hear...

[@jasonburnet9181]

anonmonen Ahhh yes. I rang at great bedwyn recently and the bells are only one floor above you. You can hear it there as well

[@Ben-uj6qk]

Horrible noise isn't it!!

[@jasonburnet9181]

What about the 9?

[@fredmills368]

Maybe they only wanted 8

[@jenlfpotter3870]

That doesn't make sense if they only wanted 8 bells, why not just ring downthe diatonic scale? 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10? Someone's brain wasn't functioning normally that day. The mind boggles.

Jen And Urwin the seventh was BROKEN SO THEY CANT RING THE DIATONIC SCALE
