Ringing on this shiny new ring of 12, cast by John Taylor & Co and hung by White's of Appleton in 2017.

The new bells replace an old-fashioned ring of 12, a mixture of Mears and Rudhall bells which I had a very soft spot for. For comparison, a clip of the old 12 can be found on the link below:

While the new bells are undoubtedly pleasant, they are still bedding in, and aren't quite right inside yet. Hopefully, they will get even better over time!

Tenor 21-2-1 in Eflat
