Such a great sound (and a cool logic puzzle). I’ve been lucky to hear it live in 🇬🇧. #changeringing

“It is a delightful irony that church bell ringing — what we hear today as the sound of piety — was once seen as a public nuisance and source of nasty community disputes.”

For larger bell sets, such as the Congressional 10 bell set, the number of permutations results in a "full peal" being exceedingly long and very rarely rung out. #Bells #History #ChangeRinging #USUKRelations

Wonderful morning of service ringing today. We had 9 and rang doubles of Stedman & Reverse Canterbury, Plain Hunt 7, and triples of Grandsire & Plain Bob.

The church garden is looking particularly lovely today, with a crop of bananas on the way!

White Ōamaru stone church tower punching through the garden at St Matthew-in-the-City. The red flowers and green leaves contrast with the brilliant blue sky with just a wisp of cloud. A banana tree on the left has a large bunch of green fruit growing. Interior of the church looking north through stained glass windows at the morning light.

Easily our favourite night of the year for bellringing! Bells, carols, & decorations, what's not to love?! 🔔

We had 12 tonight, including our two visitors from Honolulu. We rang 8 most of the night, but kept it simple (no thanks from the muggyness) 💕

Tower of St Matthew-in-the-City lit up for the carol service, lights shining out the stained glass windows. The tower and it's white Ōamaru stone sit bold against the blue night sky. The St Matthew-in-the-City Christmas tree looking awfully green & bright & festive The church interior looking from the Alter to the back where the Christmas tree is. The church masonry is white Ōamaru stone, the pews are a rich rimu brown with scarlet red velvet cushions, the rafters and ceiling are dark wood fading into black. The church is empty ahead of the carol service and well illuminated in white lights for now. The church alter taken from the back of the church. The white Ōamaru stone is counter pointed by the pinky orange led accent lighting that medieval architects would've killed for.

St Matthew in the City from the street against a grey sky, it's trees looking dark. St Matthew in the City in the night in the rain. The ambient light of the city illuminates the church tower against the sky. Lit also are the green under story if the church's trees.

The Ōamaru stone ediface of St Matthew-in-the-City above it's trees, and against a grey sunset. About halfway up (looking deceptively low in the tower) two pointed arch windows are open and you can see the lights are on

We managed to get some enthusiastic ringing in this morning before the very hot rain arrived. Sadly I lost count of how many ringers we had, but we rang rounds, called changes, Plain Bob Doubles (with 768 behind), and Grandsire Triples.

Stained glass window beneath the tower at St Matthew-in-the-City casting rainbows on the nearby wall, looking also down the north aisle lit in blue LEDs for Advent season Prayer candles lit on a sculptural candle wall by an artist whose name I've since forgotten (aroha mai forgive me) which is reminiscent of the stylised burning bush the Presbyterians use Looking through pillars at St Matthew-in-the-City across the choir into the south aisle, lit in blue LEDs for Advent, and otherwise overall gently illuminated by soft morning light The tower and peace chapel of St Matthew-in-the-City punching into the sky with a foreground of trees and flowers, a welcome green respite in the concrete & glass city

St Matthew in the City taken from a different place on the street for a change. The white Ōamaru stone tower and the east end are visible poking above the trees. In the foreground, the reason this view is seldom taken, tragic lights.

Today we rang Plain Bob Minor to welcome All Saints Day. Unfortunately our quarter peal failed about 3 mins from the end which was a real shame. More practice needed!
