Stedman Triples at Ditcheat, Som

- Excerpt from a beautifully struck and thoroughly enjoyable quarter peal of Stedman Triples on this classic Somerset 8. The bells were cast in 1920 by Taylor's and are a fantastic ring, which many would argue are better than Chewton Mendip (likewise many would argue the other way!!) - these, however, are let down somewhat by the tower (whereas Chewton's, conversely, brings them out,) but are still a very fine octave.
The band settled right into these and I was delighted with the way this rolled round - a shame it came round so soon but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless!!
Tenor 24-0-4 in Eflat

another great ring, love the sound of those bells, and again excellent striking.
Cracking striking, well done.
Glad you enjoyed! :-)
Are you the guy who was shouting "BOB!" all the time?
Great, and then off to the pub!
Well I prefer Chewton Mendip because of the tower and style because there lound inside and out Ditcheat are just quiet inside outside is fine
Hi Simon, fab ringing and so much music. Any chance of sending us the composition or putting us in the right direction? cheers
Hi Andy - thanks for your kind comment :-) Composition details here: bb.ringingworld.co.uk/comp.php?id=2254832
I've always wanted to ring here
I’m surprised John Pladdy’s wasn’t ringing with you guys.
Beautiful, I am a pure Stedman fanatic it's the most beautiful and musical method that brings out the best a belfry has
I never grow tired of Stedman. It is just a fabulous method, a gift that keeps on giving, beautiful stuff!
Bloody gorgeous. Definitely better than chewton Mendip. Tenor here has a deep sonorous roar.
I would say they are slightly better bells, just in a very poor tower - Chewton has a longer draught and better internal acoustics, making them richer inside. These outside, on the other hand, are just magnificent, and the camera has done them rich justice in bringing them out on video!
Very nice bells, must come and ring here some time! Also I must get round to calling that composition! Lots of handstroke homes then Tittums at 4:27 comes out beautifully! :D
Defo worth a ring on, but ring round the 4/5 if you do, that's where they sound best IMHO! The ringing really got going from the off but came into the music section fantastically!! Terminal to call - can fire out in the blinking of an eyelid as well we know! - but certainly worth ringing it!!
