St Peter in Drayton in Oxfordshire

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the parish church of St Peter in Drayton in Oxfordshire. In 1871, the vicar and accomplished bell-ringer Rev Francis Robinson saw that the six bells were cracked and had them recast as a ring of eight bells by the Mears and Stainbank Foundry of London. The tenor bell weighs nine and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of F sharp. We hear them ringing Stedman Triples.
