Bell Ringing at Winchester Cathedral

A huge thanks to the very friendly ringers of the Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity at Winchester. Because of their kindness and generosity, I made this video as a thank you for them. Mr N Bucknall in particular!

I went to this place and I’ve always wanted to know what the bells sound like and now I know. Lovely bells 😀

Just like the launch of Meridian TV on New Year's Day 1993!!!

good choice of music at the start it fits well

[@RingerPeter]

I went a different way up to you. I went above the ceiling

It’s sound like buckfasts bells but the tenor sounds different

[@RingerJake]

They're basically in the same key. But yes you're right, Winchester's tenor doesn't sound as mellow and sonorous as Buckfast's because it's about a quarter of a ton lighter so not as thick. Winchester are still a fantastic set of bells though, don''t get me wrong!

@@RingerJake Also, it's an 8b not 6b just so you know if you do not already. i just noticed it in the title

[@Sunflowers159]

Did you have to wear ear defenders to go into the bell chamber when the bells were being rung?

[@RingerJake]

Yup! Otherwise I would have been absolutely deafened beyond belief!!

I remember the Lord Peter Wimsey episode "The Nine Tailors". Lots of bell ringing.
