Holy Trinity in Stratford Upon Avon Warwickshire

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from Holy Trinity in Stratford Upon Avon Warwickshire. The church is built on the site of a Saxon monastery and is Stratford’s oldest building and has a strong connection with William Shakespeare who was baptised here in 1564 and buried in the chancel in 1616. The present day bells were cast as a complete ring by Taylors of Loughborough in 1948 with a Tenor weighing nineteen hundredweight in the note of E. We hear them ringing Stedman Caters.
