I am 52 percent English. I live in USA. and ever since I was a little boy I loved bells. I own a few iron church bells and 2 brass ones. I have made several cast aluminum and brass bells here. On a small scale of course. 2o inch largest I have cast. Enjoyed the video. I will subscribe
@@ChrisRichmond Ah yes I can hear it now. It would work very well in a series of videos I might start about unringable bells. I could record some clock chimes and put them in the background if it works.

Incredible Chris. Thank you for showing me our tower. Really inspiring - it’s such a challenge, makes me more determined to achieve it.
Cooool. I do bell ringing myself. Hopefully the bells can be restored
Has anything happened with the bells yet?
2:57 where did you get the sound of those 5 bells
Lying, Norfolk.
Any progress yet ?
First steps taken.
PROJECT KICKS OFF AT LAST - completion planned 2027.
Which bell is chiming in the background at 4:09?
The tenor of Holt St. Andrews slightly pitched up to A440.

makes me sad seeing bells like this they should be shiny with new fittings ready for ringing hopefully they get restored
Do you do bell ringing?
I’m a bell ringer myself
These really must get restored. They would be a really nice 5.
Just need to have 3 retuned as its in Bb
3's in Cb, i dont think that should be retuned. It'd be a nice minor ring
@@fredmills368 ohh it is the 3 my mistake, 935 is very deep for a Cb!
though if you listen to the other video of hindringham being chimed on abel, the 3rd is really just a drum until it gets welded or replaced
Hoping to augment to 6.
did something happen to these bells the last three years?
Not yet. I fear it's going to be a way off yet!
First steps taken. Might yet happen.

Can i ask if you know if the bell have been restored yet?
Not yet. It's a slow process.
The official fundraising campaign only started last year.
tower is still safe to be climbed
Those steps look hazardous. They need wholesale replacement, before someone has a horrible accident.
Yes, they’ve basically been condemned. First job on the list.
