The bells of St Paul's Cathedral, London

St Paul's Cathedral, London: 12-bells, 61-2-12cwt in Bb.
Rung by the Devon Call-Change Ringers: Sat 28th November 2015.

Footage starts with rising bells 2-9 in peal and a selection of "Queens" call-changes on 8-bells. This is followed by call-changes on 12-bells (double 60-on-Thirds). Footage concludes with lowering the middle 6-bells in peal and ends with the tenor bell tolling for evensong.

Sincere thanks are given to Mr Paul Mounsey (Master) and Mr David Bassford (Secretary) of the St Paul's Cathedral Guild of Ringers for granting permission for the band to ring and for the warm welcome we received. This is the first time in history that a "Call-Change" team has been allowed to ring the bells of St Paul's Cathedral. It was a wonderful honour, albeit a little scary. The bells are challenging to strike well due to the long unguided rope draft and some rather flighty front and middle bells. Several new friends were also made including Laura Davies, Alban Forster, Phill Ridley and Louis Suggett.

RINGERS:
Colin Adams, Scott Adams, Sue Ashton, Stuart Bennie, Steven Came, William Carew, Suzanne Driscoll, Elaine Grant, James Grant, Tom Grant, Stephen Herniman, Tony Jeffery, Christine Ley, Sam Massey, Andrew Phillips, Phill Ridley, Graham Sharland & Nicola Stoneman.
