An attempt followed by a plain course of Grandsire Triples, filmed on 12th August 2017, during a District Practice at St. Peter's Church (of Ireland), Drogheda.

This church has possibly my favourite set of bells in the whole of Ireland, a view shared by quite a few who've rang there!

A 1791 John Rudhall octave, with the tenor recast in 1889 by John Taylor. An old-fashioned 8 with a bit of a long draught but they go fabulously well!

1-7, John Rudhall 1791
8, John Taylor 1889

If you are ever in Ireland and want to join other ringers, you can always come along to the District Practices, held on the 1st Saturday (in the Northern District, i.e. Northern Ireland) and 2nd Saturday (Eastern District, i.e. Dublin, Wexford, Wicklow, or Louth).

To check for these practices, or normal practice nights for the towers, go to http://www.bellringingireland.org/.

Happy ringing !
