Bellringing at Berrynarbor, Devon

This mid weight, ground floor six sound really nice from such an early casting. They are partnered with a huge draught which makes the bells rather flighty and somewhat difficult to handle if you don’t keep a straight rope. The tail ends on each rope are longer than usual, mainly so that a coil can be made by the ringer in order to help with the Devon style call changes that are rung here every practice night (seen in the video).
Tenor : 10cwt in G

The bells are quite quiet. And a lot of rope rattle.

Yes, being a ground floor ring and the bells hung at the very top of the tower it means that they are extremely quiet. This is why they have the trap door open in order to release more sound into the ringing chamber.

I might ring the 48 Cwt Tenor at Worcester Cathedral in 7 days at the RWNYC.

I'm hoping to do that as well. Worcester cathedral bells are beautiful
