Minster Church of St Cuthburga, Wimborne Minster in Dorset

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Minster Church of St Cuthburga, Wimborne Minster in Dorset. The central tower and nave were founded in Saxon times, but the surviving building is predominantly Norman in design and construction, with Gothic components from various periods. The west tower contains a ring of twelve bells, the trebles cast by Whitechapel in 2012 and the back ten by Gillet and Johnson in 1911. The tenor weighs twenty nine and a half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of D. We hear them ringing Cambridge Surprise Maximus.
