C About The Bells

Warning: When the image is clicked the movie clip might take 5 minutes to load, time to read the transcription and make a sandwich.

The bells are rung in the traditional English style known as "change ringing".  Because of their great momentum, bells take about two seconds to rotate, so they can not be used to play ordinary melodic music. However, they can be made to follow one another in precise order each ringing once before the first rings again.  The order in which each bell rings can be constantly changed, thus the name "change ringing".
