Swanage, Dorset, 8-Bells, 22-0-24cwt in E.
The bells of Swanage can best be described as a Jurassic Coast "Classic". Cast predominantly by John Taylor & Co and overhauled in 1940, these bells sound majestic cascading over the sea-side town. Although challenging to strike well, especially the trebles, the effort is nonetheless worthwhile. Watch them being rung by the Devon Wednesday Evening Ringers Association, November 2019.
"Mash-Up" footage in this instance starts with the 8-bells being risen in peal, this is then followed by a series of outside/inside recordings and concludes by showing the bells being lowered in peal.
Ringers:
Colin Adams, Scott Adams, Sue Ashton, Kate Carew, William Carew, Robin Canniford, Steven Came, Suzanne Driscoll, Elaine Grant, James Grant, Stephen Herniman, Tony Jeffery, Christine Ley, Andrew Phillips, Graham Sharland & Victoria Tucker.
