York Minster Bells Palm Sunday 2012

I went out early to try and capture the minster bells being rung. The video was taken mainly for personal use, but I thought I would upload it to youtube. I managed to pick up someones converstion too.

The finest set of change ringing bells in the world IMO a honour to get to ring them back in 2011! 56 Bells total for info here South tower 14 change ringing bells 12+2 hung above is a 35 bell carillon extended from the original Nelson chime of 11. Over in the North tower 6 clock chime bells and the big guy himself Great peter who strikes the hours and is still swung manually most days for 5 minutes at midday. So 56 functional bells total I am fairly sure York minster now has the most bells combined over any church in the UK. And just for completion there is a Mini model ring of 6 in the ringing chamber. =)

The bells are in the left hand tower and great peter is in the right hand tower. But never mind, great video!

This is some Bristol surprise maximus.

[@janewatson6257]

Great Peter is in the left handed tower and the ring of 12 are in the right handed tower

[@jakesheard1532]

The left side is the north west tower & the right side is the south west tower

[@leedshunk]

the nearest good bells to me , i love hearing them !!!

[@orionharmon6017]

Those are some loud bells, you can also hear it outside of the church and they're still loud like this. 💒🔔🔔🔔🔊

[@StevenBlakemore1994]

I think what you meant is that it is loud. Yes it is and it weighs around 10 ton so you really would expect it to be loud. It is swung manually.

[@nikospodas6201]

WOW YOU ALSO FILMED WITH THE BIG BELL GREAT PETER

[@Madsman-nl2xy]

Nice

[@johnbiggins4864]

A madman loose in the bellfrey .

[@irkibby]

lost=most

[@ringeradam4575]

Well, I don't think they'll be ringing this Palm Sunday, sadly ._.

[@adamm2693]

or this one!

[@jayjohnson2919]

Wait I'm confused. So York Minster and Beverly Minster are two different Cathedrals but they look exactly the same?

[@Steven_Rowe]

Yes they look the same but of course Bever!ey Minster is in Beverley

[@egemazute1743]

Beverley minster is older it was built a few decades before york minster was built

[@SantaRudolph-ef6lv]

Also St Andrews cathedral in Sydney Australia look very similar I would say St Andrews cathedral looks more like York minster then Beverley minster does.

[@Steven_Rowe]

and angel of the LORD musrt have visited Taylors in 1925. Surely the 12 are the finest peal in the world. The 59 cwt tenor is divine. Great Peter sounds way better than Great Paul but then again was cast before Taylors had Simpson tuning

These will scare jinns demons and all evil spirits away..
