#bellringing is a skill which starts simple and can become as complicated as you can manage. Handbell ringing to this standard is a rare skill and well worth listening to. It’s hard to believe that you hear this same music from church #bells (louder, slower but the same ‘tune’).
Utterly spell-binding! #bellringing

Tonight low cloud smothered the unsolicited ever-glare of the Shard. So, instead, the Cathedral bells raced through silent Borough Market’s centuries, trickled along the alleyways of Southwark and escorted me home - right up to my front door. I sodding love London in the autumn.

#bellringing from @Swarkbells offering the soundscape of hundreds of years in London’s autumn mist. Glad @MrTimDunn enjoys the #bells as part of the City.

Interested in #bellringing, think you’d like to know more about church #bells? #Barking are opening the tower on 9th September. Many churches do open for #OpenHouse so check the listings near you if you’re interested to know more about the ancient art of change ringing.

My last reception @Southwarkcathed Deanery was for the @Swarkbells team. They presented me with this lovely record of the peal they rang in my honour. Bless you!
