Climbing & Bellringing at Dublin's highest church! (John's Lane)
Climbing up Dublin's highest church (with a bit of history), and some GTFU on the tenor of this unique ring of ten.
Go to 2:07 to hear the tenor being raised.
One of my favourite churches in the whole of Ireland, John's Lane instils the feeling of a French Gothic cathedral, and on a cloudy day looks almost like something from Gotham City!

If anyone wishes to hear these bells (or perhaps ring them), they are only rung on the second Sunday of each month (starting at around 11.00am), however you can arrange to visit on another day, like we did here.

The TERRIFYING climb at John's Lane, Dublin
Taken during our Eastern District Practice, 10th February 2018.
John's Lane is infamous for it's tight iron staircase snaking up the left of the organ. With over 80 steps from the ground floor, it's one of the most famous tower accesses anywhere.
It came about since the tower wasn't meant to hold bells, therefore there was apparently no need for access. When bells came, this was inserted inside the church rather than having the usual stone staircase.
It's rather comparable to Pershore Abbey in some ways.
10 bells; 22-3-2 in Db.
Some more ringing from John's Lane, Dublin
Taken during a District Practice, Saturday 10th February 2018.
John's Lane, apart from holding a fairly rare Murphy octave (with two trebles by Carr's of Smithwick), is probably best known for the terrifying staircase by which one ascends to the ringing room: It's a Victorian ironwork staircase, and unlike the cage at Pershore Abbey, there's nothing to stop you falling off the stairs apart from your balance, and hanging on to the railing!
The bells are probably more satisfying to raise than they are to ring. The tenor takes quite a lot of work, the trebles come down very fast, the placement of the ropes has you up against the wall, and there is quite a long draft of rope.
I will admit though, it's one of the most gorgeous Churches I've ever rung in! Worth going for the building alone.
Notice also the unusual tower shape. There's only two towers in Ireland with this type of shape; St John's, here, and St Mark's Church in Dundela, up north in Belfast.

If you wish to come over to ring in Ireland, we hold District Practices once a month; in Northern Ireland on the 1st Saturday of the month, and in the Eastern District (covering the area from Drogheda to Wexford), on the 2nd Saturday.
St. John's Lane Carol Service in aid of the Penny Dinners
There was a fantastic atmosphere on Sunday night 15th Dec at our carol service in St. John’s Lane, Dublin. The event was in aid of the Penny Dinners charity, which is based in our Meath Street parish.
The success of the event was down to the choir from Ballyroan, soprano Elizabeth Woods, Ann McNulty who was MD and all those who volunteered on the night. A big thank you to all of you for making such a memorable night and helping to raise much needed funds for the Penny Dinners.
Our video is just a few short clips from an amazing night's music. We hope you enjoy!
