Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Michael, Huyton in Merseyside. The church has a ring of six bells, the oldest of which is dated 1606 and was cast by Henry Oldfield of Nottingham. In 1929, all the bells were retuned and rehung in a new frame by Taylor of Loughborough. The tenor bell weighs fourteen and three quarter hundredweight and is in the note of E flat. We hear them ringing Spliced Surprise Minor.
