    Looks like a short draft between the ringing room and the tower.

    Hi Matthew yes they really are that loud but they can also be muffled for practice sessions.

    I remember ringing on these bells as a visitor in the early 1990's....

      I very much doubt it as the bells were quite unringable in the early 1990s. I noted when I saw these bells in 1974 that the second was being swing chimed and the fittings of the other bells were quite derelict. Ropes were attached to the clapper flights to enable 'clocking.'

    Hi there. I'm just wondering - did you get permission to upload this from the content creator (Percy Featherstone)?

      Hi Josh I was asked and given permission to upload this video by the Rev Simon Reynolds, priest in church of All Saints Church, Darton.

    Nice video! Just curious...how much did the work cost? Looks like it must have been quite expensive...

      I don't know how much the work for the restoration cost, but regarding the making of the video it didn't cost a penny from anyone. I did it as a project for the then Barnsley and district Video Club. P. Featherstone.

      To Patrick Meyer. I am the person who made this film and did the commentary in situ as I was filming without any aid or knowledge except that which I could see. You weren't there to see or witness the difficult and at times dangerous conditions in the bell tower. Percy Featherstone.

      I don't think you don't know what you are talking about. I think you did a fine job of narrating the film. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Thanks for posting it to youtube.
