Today, Matthew Holdsworth and I meet David Gilmore, Tower Captain of St Mary's Church in Reigate. David very kindly agreed to take us up the tower to meet the ten Bells and then lead us up on to the roof to enjoy the stunning views.

Didnt realise that the guitarist with Pink Floyd was also a bell ringer! A fascinating insight into bell towers.

Sid Bonkers - part of me hoped we were going to get the Comfortably Numb solo from the top of the church tower!

Newel,the central supporting pillar of a spiral or winding staircase! So you were right!

Whew! That was a dizzying climb up the tower, but worth it for the views. Thanks Richard and Matthew.

@Zaire Terry You’re right, I don’t give two shits.

I really enjoyed this one, david was a great guide, really knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Those peal boards were interesting, did he say the last one was in 1984, fascinating all the ones through the years. Probably not much room for more. The clock mechanism was wonderful too, and how wonderful Gillett & Johnson still services it, things in them days was built to last. Thanks Richard and Mathew for a great walk around the tower

Until I was eleven, I lived about ½ kilometre from St Mary’s, in Rushworth Road. I have happy memories of hearing those bells, plus those of both the market place in the town centre and the Priory.

David Gilmore was a fantastic guide. I love when people are passionate about what they do!!!😃 What spectacular views you & Matthew got from up on top the bell tower. Such a beautiful blue sky & the scenery around were all just breathtaking (but especially the windmill).

@RichardVobes 4 года назад

We were especially lucky with that one!

@ceeceety2320 3 года назад

This little mini-series with Matthew was fantastic! He's a nice man and very knowledgeable as we all should be of our towns and cities. We are sold on England!

@SidBonkers51 6 лет назад

As far as I know a "newel" is a supporting post or column on a staircase but most stone spiral staircases have the centre post "newel" built into each stair so the stairs support each other with one sitting on top of the next and so on. Disclaimer: I am often misinformed though :)

@cathybonner9437 3 года назад

What stunning views over Reigate from the top of the bell tower! I was born in Reigate and am familiar with the area including the Victorian houses where my ancestors lived in North Albert Rd. Thank you to Matthew and David for their interesting talks

@MrGreatplum 6 лет назад

I really enjoyed this one - what a view that is, and I thought David was an excellent guide!
