HE year 1889 was by far the busiest in my whole ringing career, as in it I accomplished 85 peals. This large number of suc­ cesses was owing to the great skill of Mr. Washhrook in conducting peals. We began with a 5040 of Grandsire Triples at Drayton on the eve of my birthday, January 5th. This was followed by three peals of Stedman, one of Caters at Appleton, and two of Triples at Drayton. Early in February, I accepted an invitation from Mr. J. W. Taylor, jun., to the Midlands, having stipulated that Mr. Washbrook should be of the party, his services being invaluable. The other visitors were, the Revs. G. F. Coleridge and W. W. C. Baker; Mr. (now Sir) A. Percival Heywood, of Duffield, joined the party, and Messrs. H. Baker and C. H. Hattersley. Mr. W. \Vakley, of Burton-on-Trent, joined us as conductor for two peals. At Loughborough we were assisted by Messrs. Cresser, Lane and Tyler of the local company. Nine peals were rung during· the week ; the only failure being on the first evening at Loughborough, where the conductor called three bobs in succession in a peal of Kent Treble Bob Royal, thereby vitiating the truth of the performance. The following were our peals :- (1)-February 5th, at S.

Learning to Ring – an overview The early stages of learning to ring Church Bells, are all about learning to handle a bell with confidence, so that the sound of the bell can be produced in a controlled and accurate manner. Once a learner can handle a bell confidently, they will progress to ringing Rounds (the bells all ringing in order, treble first, finishing with the tenor. The next stage is usually to learn Call Changes (The tune changes periodically, according to the instructions of the conductor), and then, everywhere except the West Country, the learner is ready to venture into the world of Method ringing (where the bellringers follow a predefined composition and the conductor is responsible for calling the start, bobs and singles, and the return to rounds at the end).

However, since September we have had three people learning to ring with us from scratch who are progressing very well and should soon be moving on to Plain Hunt. For Sunday Service ringing I have tried to keep the quality of the ringing as high as possible, while still trying to maintain a diverse repertoire of methods. Numbers on Sundays have varied from three to sixteen, and we have usually had enough to ring all eight bells, with half courses of Cambridge and Yorkshire being quite common. Occasionally when I have been feeling either impulsive or drunk we have rung Superlative, which is an achievement for most Sunday Service bands.

  • Campanologist Chronicles
    25 24 CAMPANOLOGIST CHRONICLES The Parish Church has an up and coming band of ringers. Not only do they ring the bells for Sunday services and Tuesday practice night’s, but they also help with the ringing the church bells at Albury and Little Hadham. There aren’t as many ringers about as there once were. Bell ringing is something for both young and old. It helps keep you both physi- cally and mentally fit. It is a quite a commitment, week in week out ringing for both Sunday services and practice nights, as well as the occasional wedding and christening. Many of you will remember Charlie Jordan, he was taught to ring when he was 12 years old and was still ringing at 80. The bells at Much Hadham are hung for full circle ringing. This is where a wheel and rope are attached to the side each bell and the bell is swung back and forth on a headstock by a bell ringer through a little more than 360 degrees to get bell over the balance point for setting in a safe position of rest. Learning to ring is a bit like learning to ride bike. Letting go of the rope at the right time so you don’t go up in the air, helps! The ringing that takes place in known as ‘change ringing’ with both call chang- es and method ringing being rung. Due to the full circle ringing each bell can be carefully controlled to ‘strike’ with its clapper once every change. The simplest change is called ‘Rounds’ where the bells are in the order of 12345678, bells can be called to move one place at a time to reach tuneful changes such as ‘Queens’ 13572468 or ‘Whittington’s’ 12753468 “turn again Whittington” as Dick did all those years ago on his way to London.

    Ringing THE GUILD OF Round DEVONSHIRE RINGERS Devon Newsletter 114, June 2019 Guild AGM Note from Editor: This is included just to show you what you missed as this issue of RRD is not expected to be printed until after the AGM. I hope that a full report will be included in the next issue. The Guild Festival is one of the Guild highlights of the year, so following on from our turn hosting it last year, it’s time to attend and enjoy all the hard work of a different branch, this year Aylesbeare. Janet Deem (branch secretary) and her members have put together a very full day of activities based around the AGM itself and all the details and timings are on a poster. If you haven’t attended a ‘full Guild’ event before, please do try and make it. Not only is there ringing and business, there are training events, mini-rings available to try, a pasty lunch, a quiz evening with food and beer and of course a chance to meet up with ringing friends we may only get a chance to ring with once or twice a year. As usual, the success of such events depends largely on good attendance so I would encourage you to go along if you possibly can. If you can get together a team of six people why not enter the quiz? If not, I’m sure you can ‘team up’ with others when you get there! There’s bound to be a round on bellringing!

  • Downloaded From
    www.surreybellringers.org.uk Website News Archive 2010 - 2015 Feed Content Setback to restoration of ringing at St. Mary's Clapham Posted:Mon, 28 Dec 2015 14:30:35 +0000 Monday, 28 Dec 2015 The tower at St.Mary’s Clapham has had assorted unsightly cracks for decades but ringing had remained possible as various consultants employed by the Church over the years had not called for it to be curtailed or ceased. Ringing was tailed off around the Millennium, mainly due to lack of ringers, but then the recently completed repairs to the spire were necessary. It seemed that the previous “status quo” regarding ringing would soon be back again, because even the recent works did not include comprehensive remedial work to the tower's cracks. Unfortunately, the Church has now received a report from the Structural Engineers which says the tower appears stable in it's present condition but it goes on to say that the cracks need to be “…..addressed in the near future and certainly before any consideration is given to recommencing bell-ringing in the tower…..”. Ringing can’t, therefore, be allowed to recommence after all. Ringing previously proposed for the Rededication on 17th January will have to be limited to a little chiming, and that full-circle ringing is being deferred indefinitely. The engineers recommend a sequence of inspections, monitoring and analyses leading to, presumably, extensive conservation repairs to all the cracked areas. No timescale is suggested by the Engineers, and, in any event, there will be the issue of another significant financial burden for the Church.

  • WP Guild Newsletter 2010
    The Winchester & Portsmouth Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers GUILD NEWS November 2010 St Peter’s Goodworth Clatford “They say that things happen in threes...” ver the past 75 years, the bell tower of OSt Peter’s church, Goodworth Clat- ford - with its stone decoration (an unusual feature in Hampshire) - has undergone some fundamental “upgrades” within, to which the non ringing and non Church- going folk, who have passed by it over the many decades on their way along Church Lane which leads to and from the centre of the village, would have been oblivious. A mere ring of three as recently as 1936 (cast in 1622, 1627 and 1700), the new incumbent vicar, the Reverend Gidlow (perhaps having had enough of listening to “Three Blind Mice” being rung over and over again?!) took a keen interest in the existing bells and set about collecting money from within the village to augment the ring to a peal of six. And so in 1937, a new treble, second and third were cast by John Taylor and Co. of Loughborough. Naturally, doubling the number of bells in the tower led to a recruitment drive, and subsequently four choir boys from St Peter’s were taught to ring. George Dowl- ing, now aged 87 and our band’s most senior member (as well as the most regular ringer at both Wednesday evening practice and Sunday service ringing!) was one of these choir boys. The new bells were hung in time for these eager young lads to ring in celebration of the Coronation of King George VI in Westminster Abbey on 12th May, 1937.
