The tenor is notoriously difficult to ring - it’s the reason so few quarters have been rung here in the past few years. The bells in general need a good bit of TLC; the clappers on the back 2 might benefit from a full restoration, and the bearings could do with some work. They’re also extremely quiet in the ringing chamber as there are two intermediate chambers between the ground floor and the bells - something else that could do with improving as they’re rather difficult to hear with the rope noise on the guide. A shame really as they really do sound brilliant, and the front 5 go extremely well.
Wow heavy 6 and they go very very good
Lovely gutsy ring of six!
I particularly like the sound of the treble at backstroke. It is hung from a wooden headstock isn't it?
Yes, the treble is the only bell in the tower with a wooden headstock. It sounds more prominent than the rest too.

Hello @@ar_ringingvideos7428
Got a bit of oomph to them I like it
No treble stay?!
The stay is on the wheel end of the headstock.
@@jasonburnet oh! how strange, though i do see the clock hammer now !
So did the tenor have a new rope?
No, all the ropes still look like they are the same, as in David Richards's video.

Did you recently go to Colemans Hatch?
Yes indeed, Monday last week.
@@ar_ringingvideos7428 did you record there?
@@RingerLuca651 Sadly no - will probably be an opportunity after work is done on them.
@@ar_ringingvideos7428 yes probably a good idea
Cool.
