Nicely done! They sound absolutely gorgeous! A bucket list tower for me, without a doubt. I'd love to ring here one day. Bells of that weight do require a certain technique of long pulls on both hand and backstroke. I rang the 46cwt tenor at nearby Sherborne Abbey the other week, covering to some Grandsire Triples and I have to admit, the first minute was utterly embarrassing, as the tenor was dropping (still in rounds thankfully). I also rang the 32cwt tenor at Maidstone back in September, and that went effortlessly.
