Manchester Cathedral

Available for over a year

This week's Bells on Sunday, comes from Manchester Cathedral. This grade one listed building was - during World War two - the most damaged English Cathedral after Coventry. The interior retains a magnificent set of choir stalls complete with misericords dating back to the early Sixteenth Century. The tower contains a peal of 10 bells cast by the Croydon Foundry of Gillett and Johnson. The tenor, cast in 1925, weighs 27 and three quarter hundredweight and is tuned to F. We hear them now ringing Bristol Surprise Royal.
