    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

    Incredible Chris. Thank you for showing me our tower. Really inspiring - it’s such a challenge, makes me more determined to achieve it.

      The tenor of Holt St. Andrews slightly pitched up to A440.

      @@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.

    makes me sad seeing bells like this they should be shiny with new fittings ready for ringing hopefully they get restored

    These really must get restored. They would be a really nice 5.

      3's in Cb, i dont think that should be retuned. It'd be a nice minor ring

      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

    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.
