#bellringing is a skill which starts simple and can become as complicated as you can manage. Handbell ringing to this standard is a rare skill and well worth listening to. It’s hard to believe that you hear this same music from church #bells (louder, slower but the same ‘tune’).
Tonight low cloud smothered the unsolicited ever-glare of the Shard. So, instead, the Cathedral bells raced through silent Borough Market’s centuries, trickled along the alleyways of Southwark and escorted me home - right up to my front door. I sodding love London in the autumn.
Interested in #bellringing, think you’d like to know more about church #bells? #Barking are opening the tower on 9th September. Many churches do open for #OpenHouse so check the listings near you if you’re interested to know more about the ancient art of change ringing.
@KathrynCanonsOn thought I would check this out for you today. Unfortunately your line manager @HodgeTheCat was unavailable. Lunchtime wedding and #Evensong sung by an American visiting choir, very nice @Southwarkcathed@Swarkbells#bellringing
My last reception @Southwarkcathed Deanery was for the @Swarkbells team. They presented me with this lovely record of the peal they rang in my honour. Bless you!
The Southwark Cathedral Society will be attempting a quarter peal at 10am on Saturday to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla
"A right royal ding dong" - ahead of the Coronation, the Daily Mail's Jane Fryer visits @southwarkcathed@Swarkbells to try bell-ringing
