Trying the bells out!

Last night 22 people gathered by invitation at Strensham to try out the new ring of eight bells.

This included David Kelly of the Keltek Trust from whom the bells were obtained, and Matthew Higby who not only supervised the job, but did much of the offsite work.

The overall result is excellent!

Here is a short clip of the bells ringing.

The try-out highlighted a few more minor jobs to do, mainly with the internal acoustics and the clapper timings. These will be looked at over the next few months, but for the moment we can rest assured that Strensham now has a magnificent ring of bells!
