I wish we had these bells at our church, it's like a calming sound that soothes your soul.

Every time I hear British bell chimes, I always picture Mr. Bean jumping out of his bed on Christmas morning and putting on his "Christmas socks" 🧦🧸

These bells are chiming not TOLLING. A common error in vocabulary. Bells TOLL at funerals and chime otherwise.

[@fredmills368]

Ringing actually the first one is chiming

[@Ringer_Fran]

michael checkley these bells are not chiming they're ringing.

[@Steven_Rowe]

In a chime the bells are hung dead which means they do not move bur are hit either by an externally hammer or even a clapper.
Tolling really refers to the ringing of a single bell but again this is a loose term.
This is English change ringing.
Each vell swings full circle through 360 degrees with in this case 10 ringers ringing 10 individual bells

[@claireforestgreenorgangeek7882]

@@fredmills368 what's the difference between ringing and chiming?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@fredmills368]

Very good question Chimin gis just swinging the bell through a small arc. Ringing is 360 degrees where the bell is turned upside down each alternate stroke these are called the handstroke and backstroke. hope that helps :))

[@ed9492]

They should ring these on Brexit Day since they can't ring Big Ben.

[@erictrumpler9652]

These bells are not being chimed... they are being swung full circle by a team of ten bell ringers, one to a bell.

[@detentionroompunishment5491]

The bells on this chuch always ring like that? I would love to see them live. Im going to london on 2 weeks

[@erictrumpler9652]

It is very difficult to get access at Westminster Abbey, but very many churches in the UK have bells rung according to the same tradition. You can inquire at any church whom to contact if you want to see the bell ringers doing their thing live.

[@devonm44]

What time did these ring? 1pm?

[@honeybeemoonlight8369]

Yep. To me, I think the bells are beautiful.
