Holy Trinity, Ossett in West Yorkshire

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from Holy Trinity, Ossett in West Yorkshire. The impressive Church of Holy Trinity was built in 1865 of Yorkshire stone in the early Gothic style and features a tall tower and spire rising some two hundred and twenty six feet. The central tower originally housed a peal of eight bells cast by John Taylor of Loughborough. These were recast again by Taylors as a ring of ten bells in 1934. Following various augmentations, the tower now houses sixteen bells with a tenor tuned to the note D that weighs twenty seven and a quarter hundredweight. We hear them ringing Cambridge Maximus.
