The Swan Bell Tower in Perth in Western Australia.

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Swan Bell Tower in Perth in Western Australia. This tower contains the one of only three peals of sixteen change-ringing bells in the world and was erected in 1988 to mark the Australian bicentenary. The heaviest twelve bells of the peal are actually a complete 18th century set of bells that were relocated from St Martin-in-the-Fields in London. We hear them ringing Grandsire Caters on the peal’s lighter F sharp ring of ten.
