- I'm going to (attempt to) ring my first peal! But first I'll explain what a peal is and why this is so special.
Video production Scott Pilkington @spil030 2024
This was recorded at St Matthew-in-the-City. 8 bells cast by Warner & Sons 1862, with retuning and two recast in 1972 by Whitechapel. 20-0-12 in E♭. The band were:
1 Jacqueline N Hoole
2 Robert H Bennett
3 Christopher Jarman
4 Ali Ducker
5 Adrian P Grant
6 Tony Binstead
7 Michael J Stone (C)
8 Scott Pilkington
fascinating...!
Sorry for to the band loosing peal! It’s always a same when it firers out. All the best for the next attempt!
Glad we reset and got a quarter out of it. We'll try again later in the year - that'll be the 40th anniversary of the 1st ever local peal in the tower and the same conductor is available and keen!
Don’t worry my first peal we made it 2 hours but didn’t finish, completely normal. Keep working towards it!!
Hoping to try again later this year. October marks 40 years since the first all-local peal (the bells were only cast in 1862 haha) and we have the original conductor wanting to repeat the performance. Fingers crossed on that one!
@@spil030 there are 8 bells in the tower cast by john warner and sons bells 1 3 5 6 7 and 8 which is the tenor and weighs 17-2-0cwts and whitechapel bells 2 and 4
@@ΝΙΚΟΣΠΟΔΑΣ-δ4σ yes I've covered that in another video. And the tenor is 20-0-6. We're not sure where 17-2-0 came from just recently. This is my home tower, I'm quite familiar with the bells here. Originally all of the bells were Warners, but the 2 & 4 had to be recast in the 1970s by which point Warners were closed, so Whitechapel did the work. Taylors now do the inspections when in the country.
