magnificent!

[@Steven_Rowe]

I know they are old style bells, some say sound like scaffolding, but being an ex pat in Sydney, these are the unmistakable sound of London to me. On Saturdays dad would often ring the chimes and the banger for Jack Phillips, then of to Weddings at Jewry or the gorgeous Gillett peal at St James Clerkenwell to ring with old Jack Euston who was known as Kings Cross.
Funny about that.

[@tuatara77]

How on earth do these apparently sound like scaffolding? I don't think you can really get a better sounding, acoustically correct heavy ring of bells.

[@Steven_Rowe]

@@tuatara77 I said some said they sound like scaffolding
I love these bells.
They are classic old school bells.
To retune them to Simpson tuning would be sacrilege.

OMG'ness. I have been a College Youth (the permitted Society to ring here) for 30 years but have yet to ring on these superlative bells. These bells and their ringers are the "creme de la creme" of the Exercise

I know someone who rings there, I been to the ringing chamber and to the belfry with him but I never rung there. I am in no fit state to pursue with bell ringing at the moment.

The bells of St Paul's Cathedral are "change ringing"

[@FrancescoBellringer]

Change Ringing is the style of ringing in the uk, with a few towers in other english speaking countries such as the USA or New Zealand. The change ringing bells at St. paul’s are the ones you hear ringing after the clock strike.
