York Minster, N. Yorkshire

Cathedral & Metropolitan Church of St Peter
12 bells 59-1-21 in Bb

The bells of York Minster were recast in 1925 and are currently our heaviest harmonically tuned peal.

The recording at York took place on a Sunday morning and the band were ringing for morning service. The recording equipment was placed opposite the cathedral on the right of the photograph. We were initially quite concerned that there would be lots of extraneous noise, but the only problems we had were the noise of the rubbish collection and an old lady trying to reverse park. The two towers of York Minster contain 32 Taylor bells and around 39 tons of bell metal.

The band rang three leads of Littleport Little Surprise Maximus.

The band consisted of:

1 David G Hull
2 Helen P Bradley
3 Alison L Edmonds
4 C Lynne Stretton
5 Robert W Lee
6 Adam S Greenley
7 Christine B Potter
8 David R Mitchell
9 Peter J Sanderson (C)
10 Rupert M Burgess
11 David E Potter
12 Timothy P Bradley
