St Paul’s Cathedral in London

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from St Paul’s Cathedral in London. The cathedral is one of the most famous and most recognisable sights of London. It has been the location for many important national services of thanksgiving and celebration, including the Platinum Jubilee of HM Elizabeth II, services which are accompanied by the ringing of the bells. The present ring of twelve bells, cast in 1878 by John Taylor of Loughborough is one of the heaviest in the country, with the tenor weighing sixty one and half hundredweight and tuned to B flat. We now hear the bells ringing Stedman Cinques.
