The bells of All Saints, Canwick, Lincolnshire

Hello! I haven't rung much at all in the last few years, and it's only by chance that I had the opportunity to make this video. I stayed in a hotel nearby and on Sunday morning wandered across to the church, where I remembered from Lincolnshire Bells and Bellfounders that two bells hung in the tower. It turned out that the bells are very much still in use and I was invited to ring them by the wonderful people at the church. Canwick is a village just to the South East of Lincoln, sitting on a hill that gives a clear view of Lincoln Cathedral across on it's own hill in the middle of the city. The church here has Norman origins though the building rests on Roman stonework. The tower was rebuilt in the 1700s and contains two bells; Treble: Recast from a medieval Nottingham foundry bell in 1882 by Taylors, at the same time as the two bells being rehung in a new frame. Tenor: cast by an unknown medieval founder circa 1400, weight 4-2-0. Inscribed " m a r i " The services at Canwick and Lincoln Cathedral both begin at the same time so as I left I heard both Canwick bells and the thundering of Great Tom of Lincoln tolling in the distance, Lincolnshire bells great and small. A reminder of the work of John Ketteringham, and the fieldwork of George Dawson and others; whose work on recording the details of bells like these across Lincolnshire has been a wonderful thing to have access to.
