Truro Cathedral dominates Truro. The Bells are also pretty spectacular. This video is showing clips from a practice night. Enjoy the sound of one of the best rings of bells around.
In 1950 as a15 year old "smart a***" I atempted to ring the Tenor to call changes on the old ten. Could not even "bounce" the bell off the stay let along ring it, only stretching the rope .Four pulls later a gert hairly arm reached over my shoulder with the words "she's all yours" and away we went. Halycon days I remember it all so well now that I am in my eighties. Thanks TDGR
Your video much appreciated, at Christmas 2015, by the son, grandsons, and great grandchildren of Fred and Clara Carlyon Roberts, who left Camborne in the 1920's. From Grand Rapids, Michigan - with pasties and saffron cake still in our diet, and after a local service of Lessons and Carols
I think it is good that they practice lower numbered methods for learners at a cathedral. The best practices are the ones which cater for all! :-) Very nice ring though! :-)
I have rung there. We had all 12 ringers. Amazing sounding bells. The go well too!
One the best chance ringing of Great Brittain
