Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Giles, Cripplegate in the city of London. In 1552 there were five bells in the sixteenth century tower. By 1792 there was a ring of twelve, mostly cast at Pack and Chapman’s Whitechapel Foundry. These bells were destroyed by enemy action in 1940 and the present twelve were cast by Mears and Stainbank at Whitechapel in 1953 and 1954. We hear them ringing Cambridge Surprise Maximus.
