  • The Wednesday Evening Ringers Association December (Christmas) 2012 Meeting: North Tawton, Devon.
    Footage shows rising 8-bells in peal, a selection of call-changes being rung on this rather tricky peal of 8-bells and concludes with lowering 8-bells in peal.
    For those that are interested, North Tawton has a long history of Call-Change ringing. It has a close affiliation with The Devon Association of Ringers going right back to its commencement in 1925. North Tawton had one of the best 8-Bell Call-Change teams in Devon from the mid-1950's through to the late 1980's under the captaincy of Brian Drake. They won the Devon 8-Bell title a remarkable 19 times. A feat that has only just recently been surpassed by Kingsteignton bellringers. North Tawton have had several respected call-change ringers in their side over the years including Chris Clayton, Edgar Cole, Mervyn Way, Paul Wright & Ralph Wright.
    Ringers: Colin Adams, Scott Adams, Stuart Bennie, Chris Clayton, Suzanne Driscoll, Stephen Herniman, Tony Jeffery, Mervyn Langdon, Christine Ley, Graham Sharland & Paul Wright

    I've rung here. They're amazing! Brian Drake is a very kind and welcoming tower captain. I'm ringing here again one Christmas Eve and Day.

    Has always been nice. I grew up here. Remembering back, on the best, most brightest days you'd always hear these bells ringing in the distance. I felt the day wouldn't truly be a beautiful day without these bells. Weird huh.
