Theyre certainly very nice inside, and outside theyre rther good too Nice to see them being rung this well - the times ive been there have always been with a gash band.
Is this where William Shakespeare buried? I am a distant relative to William Shakespeare, and in my English class we're reading Macbeth, and I am honored to be reading one of his greatest work. Beautiful sounding bells.
Yes, but we didn't really do them justice. The ringing in this clip is of a high standard and it is always a joy and a privilege to ring in a touch like that. I have to say (and I am not referring to Stratford necessarily!) that it is sometimes better to ring something more modest very well than more complex stuff poorly. A good practice should (hopefully) consist of a good mix of both. By the way, they do go much better than Truro.
Undoubtedly these are a good peal of bells, and I was not implying in any way that westminster are better than these, though I was merely replying to "shippingforecast"'s comment about Whitechapel. My home tower are mears and stainbank, and are a rich full peal of bells at that! Whitechapel have created fantastic bells throughout their history, By my last comment, I was instigating that Westminster were a good peal of Whitechapel bells.
Just "homed in" on this touch. Most enjoyable, thanks. Rang the Tenor to a peal here many years ago!

Hope to ring on these next week. They sound lovely, so much easier to ring than my home tower of Truro Cathedral!
Whitechapel can only dream about casting a ring as good as this. HO HO HO
nice tower. I don't get the hohoho I have seen it around but am confused to it meaning. can someone enlighten me?

on what occasion did you ring at Westminster Abbey?
