Welcome to the village of Clifton in Bedfordshire, England.  Each Sunday and on special occasions, dedicated and skilled ringers give life to our wonderful peal of eight bells, some dating back to 1590!  The tradition of Change Ringing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_ringing)  is almost unique in Europe to the UK.

"BALULALOW"

O my dere hert, young Jesu sweit,
Prepare thy creddil in my spreit,
And I sall rock thee to my hert,
And never mair from thee depart.

But I sall praise thee evermoir
With sanges sweit unto thy gloir;
The knees of my hert sall I bow,
And sing that richt Balulalow.

Words: James, John and Robert Wedderburn (1548), 1561
