The Ringing World #5317 The Weekly Journal for No. 5317 March 22, 2013 Price £2.00 Church Bell Ringers since 1911 Editor: Robert Lewis Notre Dame de Paris – 850th Anniversary Bells by Chris Mew aris “the eternal city” has always been a Pplace of pilgrimage for romantics, artists and kings and of all its buildings the Cathedral of Notre Dame is one of the most recognisable and is considered a foremost example of Gothic architecture. Notre Dame is the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Paris and construction of the present building commenced in 1163 on the order of the then Bishop Maurice de Sully. The main apse and choir were completed in 1182 but it was not until 1250 that the twin western towers which house the main bells were completed. Final stages of the construction continued until 1345 by which time the famous rose windows, stained glass and some of the earliest examples of flying buttresses were in place. The 850th anniversary of its foundation falls in 2013 and amongst celebrations for this milestone it was decided to install a new ring of bells. I was privileged to attend a press briefing The twin towers of ‘Our Lady of Paris’ The Roman Catholic Benediction Service viewed from the clerestory 278 – The Ringing World March 22, 2013 in the Cathedral on 20th February and the was set up to steer the project under the following notes give the story behind the bells, leadership of Monseigneur Patrick Jacquin, the new castings representing an historical Rector and chief priest of the Cathedral with occasion in the history of European campaniles. architectural input from M.

It is known as as the Faculty Jurisdiction. A faculty is the formal document of diocesan approval to undertake a specified set of works. Those of you who enjoy Tom Harris’s entertaining take on faculty processes and procedures (p.281), may be interested to know that there is a useful reference document on the Central Council website: “The Faculty Jurisdiction – A Guide for Bellringers”. The Council’s Towers & Belfries Committee should also be able to help with advice in specific cases where the requirements of the jurisdiction are in any doubt. (see http://www.cccbr.org.uk/ towersandbelfries/pubs/faculty.php). Sam Austin’s letter (p.282) illustrates, once again, that it is possible to introduce ringing successfully into schools and that such efforts are never wasted. While it is true that a school ringing society may not always survive the departure of an enthusiastic leader, the long term benefit to the Exercise of such a society flourishing – if only for a few years – should not be underestimated. We have already received a lot of interest from teams wishing to participate in this year’s Ringing World National Youth Contest at York on Saturday, 6th July.

  • The St. Mary-Le-Tower Society
    The St. Mary-le-Tower Society The bells of St. Mary-le-Tower are amongst the best known in Britain. St. Mary-le-Tower, or St. Mary at the Tower to give it its proper name, takes its name from its proximity to a tower on the town walls. The tower and walls are long since gone and the only remnants today are nearby street names like Tower Street and Tower Ramparts. The aim of this document is to give all known details of the bells that have rung out from the Tower. I also hope to provide an insight into the tremendous ringers, whose goings on have left St. Mary-le-Tower steeped in history, for there was a time that the St. Mary-le-Tower Society were the most accomplished company in the land. On beginning research, I also decided on a secondary aim for this article. Throughout the years there has been a considerable amount of information published about St. Mary-le- Tower. However, some of it is simply wrong. In places I have chosen to point out these incorrect facts and in others I have decided to leave it out for now as this is only an early draft. I hope to provide a valuable insight into the true history of ringing at our wonderful church: St. Mary-le-Tower. I hope you enjoy reading the article. The Early Days There were only five bells and a Sanctus bell present in the tower in 1553. The treble and tenor were then recast by Miles Graye I of Colchester in 1607 and 1610 respectively.

  • The Bells of St. Peter, Sudbury
    The Bells of St. Peter, Sudbury What a gloriously wild and stirring sound the bells make as they ring out over the town. Ringers from around the world often visit the tower and all comment on the fine sound and their enjoyment in ringing these bells. Over hundreds of years the bells have rung out for weddings, funerals, services of all kinds and to mark the great events of history. St. Peter’s must have had bells from early times. In a will, dated 1376 there is reference to hanging the great bell in St. Peter’s Chapel. This reference may relate to a previous building but there is a small chance that it gives an indication of the date of construction of the present tower. The eighth bell – John – one of the Kebyll bells From 1457 bequests were made towards the founding of new bells and certainly three of the present bells date from about 1470. These three historic bells were made by Kebyll of London. In 1553 a return tells of there being five bells in the tower, although this is something of a mystery as the additional two bells are not found in the tower today. It is possible that they ‘migrated’ to another tower. By the nineteenth century the number of bells had risen to six, with additions in 1605, 1641 and 1662. Perhaps the most well known escapade related to the bells took place in March 1863, when the Rector, Canon Molyneux, forbade the customary peal of bells in honour of the marriage of the Prince of Wales.

We have never had so much material offered before. This has meant that not everything could be fitted in, so apologies if your article has not appeared this time. We are particularly pleased to include Crawford Allen’s account of the augmentation of Elmsett bells from two to soon-to-be five. This has been a remarkable low cost achievement involving second hand bells, one even bought on ebay, and local fundraising and, of course, support from the Guild. Last November, while the winter issue of this publication was being finalised, there were several notable ringing achievements which just missed being reported: Richard Knight rang his 500 th peal. This was Bristol Surprise Major at Bures. David Howe rang his 100 th peal when he rang Kent Treble Bob Major at Ixworth. Tom Scase rang his 250 th quarter peal as conductor at Brandeston where the band rang Norwich Surprise Minor. Congratulations to them all.
