Bells 6, 8, and 10 are seen here being raised prior to the commencement of ringing at Hereford Cathedral. Note the wooden shafted clapper on the tenor.
I'm shocked that anyone would be up there as bells are being rung up especially without hearing protection and serious hearing protection at that! The man who isn't even putting his hands over his ears has probably done some serious damage to his hearing.... Madness! I learned to ring ringing these bells and it took two heavy ringers to pull the tenor up. One thing that used to worry me was when you sat out whilst others were ringing and felt the whole tower shake side to side!
