This was the first evening that the bells were rung (30th April 2012), having been cast late 2011 and hung a few weeks earlier. The clappers have yet to bed in and the ringing room is not finished, but this gives an early indication of what can be expected from these bells. The band is ringing Cambridge Surprise Royal. There are 10 bells, tenor 10-3-23. See http://london.lovesguide.com/dunstan-in-the-west.htm

St Dunstan-in-the-East was a Church of England parish church on St Dunstan's Hill, half way between London Bridge and the Tower of London in the City of London. The church was largely destroyed in the Second World War and the ruins are now a public garden. The church was severely damaged in the Blitz of 1941. Wren's tower and steeple survived the bombs intact. Of the rest of the church only the north and south walls remained. In the re-organisation of the Anglican Church in London following the War it was decided not to rebuild St Dunstan's, and in 1967 the City of London Corporation decided to turn the ruins of the church into a public garden, which opened in 1971. A lawn and trees were planted in the ruins, with a low fountain in the middle of the nave. The tower now houses the All Hall...

www.Rousseau.SHP.media/maurice-greene-1696-1755/ Dr Maurice Greene was one of England's leading composers and musicians in a period that was dominated by Handel. His output of large and small scale choral works along with his organ voluntaries are some of the finest examples of music by English composers of the Georgian period and deserve a much wider audience. The voluntary here is No I in a set of 12 published in 1780, some 25 years after his death. With its use of the cornet stop in the second movement, and the trumpet stop in the fourth, this could have been written for any of the three principle organs in the London churches and cathedral for which Maurice Greene was at various times the organist, namely, St Dunstan's-in-the-West, St Andrew's, Holborn, and St Paul's Cathedral.
St. Dunstan's Court is situated on the border of EC4 and WC2, on Fetter Lane between Holborn and Fleet Street, and moments from The Strand.

(English version below) Thomas Adams (1785 London - 1858 London) war in seinem späteren Leben wohl der prominenteste Londoner Organist, berühmt nicht zuletzt wegen seines Improvisationstalentes, aber auch als Komponist. Er war Organist verschiedener Londoner Kirchen: 1802-14 Carlisle Chapel, Lambeth; 1814-24 St Paul's, Deptford, seit 1824 St George's, Camberwell. Letzteren Posten hatte er für den Rest seines Lebens inne, dazu seit 1833 die Organistenstelle an St Dunstan-in-the-West in der Fleet Street. Seit dessen Einweihung 1817 war Adams überdies sozusagen Hausorganist des von der Orgelbaufirma Flight & Robson erbauten berühmten Apollonicon, aufgestellt in einem Saal des Firmensitzes in der St Martin's Lane: einer Orgel mit rund 1900 Pfeifen (verteilt auf 45 Register) und zwei Pauken,...
St. Dunstan in the East is a small public park in the middle of the city of London, before the Second World War it served as a church, but as a result of bombings during the Blitz it was destroyed, instead of being left a ruin or rebuilt it was turned into a small public garden filled with flowers. When you think about the fact that it is in the middle of London, the silence which might not seem special elsewhere is quite peaceful.
This is St. Dunstans Level Crossing or Canterbury West Level Crossing located in Canterbury along the London to Ramsgate line. This crossing is rather unique for having 3 out of the 4 wigwags narrow versions. From the video, there is very little space for the wigwags to be placed so narrow ones are used to fit in. The crossing has 2 mini yodalarm sounders, one of which is quite loud. Traffic can sometimes become a problem here and traffic queues can sometimes briefly build up over the crossing. Only a yellow box is used at this crossing and there is no "Keep Crossing Clear" signs on the pole which would come in useful in the safety of this level crossing. This crossing did use to be halogen (like most of the crossings I have visited) and got upgraded a few years ago. This, however, has ...
--Video 2 of 2: Edward Miall (1809-1881) and London EC. This video - video two of two - begins as an immediate continuation from video 1, walking westwards on the left hand side along Fleet Street. At 0:15 I arrive at Bouverie Street where sometime between 1847 and 1856 Edward Miall moved his office from nearby "3, Whitefriars Street, Fleet Street" to "13 Bouverie-street, Fleet-st." (See The Newspaper Press Directory and Advertisers Guide for 1847 and The Catholic Directory, Ecclesiastical Register, and Almanac for 1856). Bouverie Street is an adjacent street west of Whitefriars Street, and here at Number 11 were the publishers "Bradbury & Evans, Bouverie Street" which published, for an example, William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair in 1848, and many works of Charles Dickens such as D...
The Ingoldsby Legends, 1st Series by Richard Harris Barham (1788-1845) The Ingoldsby Legends are a collection of myths, legends, ghost stories and poetry supposedly written by Thomas Ingoldsby of Tappington Manor, actually a pen-name of Richard Harris Barham. The legends were first printed in 1837 as a regular series in Bentley's Miscellany and later in New Monthly Magazine. The legends were illustrated by John Leech and George Cruikshank. They proved immensely popular and were compiled into books published in 1840, 1842 and 1847 by Richard Bentley. They remained popular through the Victorian era but have since fallen out of fame. An omnibus edition appeared in 1879: The Ingoldsby Legends; or Mirth and marvels. (Summary from Wikipedia)

I got this content for Youtube, its very rare and I felt it needed to be shared with the world that loves Tony Hancock. I hope you enjoy it as its Tony Hancocks last works of comedy and so its very special to me. This rare 3 episodes rolled into one is Hancock In Australia. A comical genius that gave laughter to others and inside himself sadness and depression. One of the best that ever lived. So Tony Hancock said: "Things just seemed to go too wrong too many times" Hancock committed suicide, by overdose, in Sydney, on 25 June 1968. He was found dead in his Bellevue Hill flat with an empty vodka bottle and a scattering of amylo-barbitone tablets. In one of his suicide notes he wrote: "Things just seemed to go too wrong too many times".His ashes were brought back to the UK by satirist...

For over 1,200 years church bells have called the faithful to worship, helping people celebrate triumph and commemorate tragedy. But the fact that they are one of the largest and loudest musical instruments in the world is often overlooked. This is something musical innovator Charles Hazlewood wants to change - he wants to see if church bells can be used to make original music in their own right. Choosing Cambridge for his musical experiment, Charles immerses himself in the world of bells and bell ringing. He tries his hand at ringing church bells, handbells and even a carillon - an instrument which resembles an organ made out of bells. He discovers why church bell ringing sounds the way it does and tries out some radical techniques - pushing the boundaries, he re-rigs a whole church tow...
