In the belfry at Wybunbury, Cheshire
In the belfry at the leaning tower of Wybunbury, Cheshire. A church with a rather unfortunate history of which the tower is the only part left. When the bells are being rung it certainly moves! Something has quite clearly gone a little bit wrong with this video during uploading to YouTube for which apologies...
Ringing at Nantwich, Cheshire
Some ringing (could it be Cornovii again?) on the nice eight Nantwich. Essentially two rings of four in the same tower they have been tuned together well and make a pleasing ring of bells. Easy to ring, but slightly oddstruck. The ringing chamber is rather unusual because of the shape of the tower, and has an arch crossing it, presumably to give the structure more strength. Four of the ropes fall on one side and four on the other. This is a magnificent church which is well worth a good look around.

A slightly different perspective on St Mary's Church in Prestwich..
Still need a gimble to eliminate the shaking.
Bellringing at Astbury, Cheshire
Another go at Cornovii Delight Major on the lovely eight at Astbury, near Congleton, Cheshire. A rather superb looking church - but has never been unlocked whenever I've visited. The bells are a 1925 Taylor six, augmented to eight in 1998.
Bell ringing at Kennington, Kent
Part of an unsuccessful quarter peal attempt for Double Court Minor rung at St. Mary, Kennington, Kent.

Rainow Church
A short video clip featuring Holy Trinity Church in Rainow, near Macclesfield in Cheshire, England.
The video begins with a view of White Nancy.
The video maybe of interest to family historians, and campanologists

This was a very wet day to fly my DJi Phantom 2 Vision +
but I had to wait for a break in the rain that's why a short clip
I felt compelled to do this footage of our mums grave and video the church where she is laid to rest as if there was something at work as it did stop raining just enough to film that day as afterwards it didn't stop raining at all that day just for that 15 minutes
I hope i have made our mum proud as this way we all can look at her whilst she rest in peace god bless her we all miss you mum
This is some information that I have got from the internet about this church
and by the way it got hit by a cannon ball in the Duke of Wellington era

Bellringing at Elston, Nottinghamshire
Ringing this nice six, back five by Thomas Osborne and the treble by Taylors. These have apparently just been refurbished, and go well. This is a charming church with an odd tower - there seems to be a room above the belfry. The Darwin family owned the estate here.
