Bells on Sunday from Winchester Cathedral

Bells on Sunday comes from Winchester Cathedral. The bells are the only diatonic ring of fourteen in the world, comprising the original 1936 set of twelve augmented by two trebles in 1993. The eight largest bells still hang in the old 1734 wooden frame, which moves around as the bells are being rung making excellent ringing very difficult to achieve. We hear them ringing a plain course of Erin Sextuples.
