There's no way I could handle that climb in my old age, but I really love these bells! I learned to ring on the Rudhall bells at Old North Church in Boston, Massachusetts, during my college days in the 1970s. Although this is a heavier ring, the sound of the bells at Pershore is very familiar to me.
It's not just a question of being bad with heights. To get to the open spiral stairs you have to go through very narrow passageways, one particularly narrow, which triggered my claustrophobia and I scraped a hole in my rugby shirt against the walls. I have rung there twice but never again.

I don’t think I would like to ring there at anytime as I am terrified of heights.
That looks truly frightening! Does it not move when you ring?
at least with john's lane, it's just at the staircase and you're safely in the room for most of the time!
gives you the willies dosen't it

Done it once, liked the bells, but in no hurry to go back whatever!
Yea that's a nope from me. Not even a set of pre-war Taylors would get me up there
No, no and nope!
You MUST be joking !
