Fascinating chat with Andy, the Steeple Keeper at St Michael's, Camberley. Did you know....

The Big Ben bell weights 13 tonnes. St Paul's "Great Paul" bell weighs 16 tonnes, and is 9 foot 6 inches wide, and has to be rung electrically.

Liverpool Cathederal has the heaviest bell rung, at 4 tonnes.

Guildford Cathedral has 12 bells, and they could be rung for 38 years without repeating a sequence!
