The Parish Church of Our Lady and St Nicholas, Pier Head, in Liverpool

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Currently there is no ringing taking place across UK towers, a situation not encountered since the Second World War. This morning’s recording comes from The Parish Church of Our Lady and St Nicholas, Pier Head, in Liverpool. The present ring of twelve bells with a tenor of forty one and three quarter hundredweight was cast and hung by John Taylor of Loughborough for the opening of the new church in October 1952 following wartime bombing in December 1940 which in fact had left the tower intact. We hear them ringing Pudsey Surprise Maximus.
