THE glorious sound of Winchester Cathedral bells have been heard in their full glory. Having been restricted from ringing, either at all during Lockdowns or, due to continuing Covid-19 regulations, on no more than six of their smaller bells, the Cathedral band met on Sunday morning and awakened Winchester to the sound of their heaviest bells pealing out for the first time since early March 2020. The sound was even more mellow following the fitting of new clappers to the two heaviest bells, the Tenor, which weighs 1.75 tons and the 13th weighing 1.2 tons. The band were led by Tower Captain, Nick Bucknall and Ringing Master Mike Hopkins Till.
