The Cathedral Church of St Philip in Birmingham

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Cathedral Church of St Philip in Birmingham, the host city of the 2022 Commonwealth Games that began last Thursday. Initially built between 1711 and 1715 in response to a growing population, it became the Cathedral Church for the new diocese of Birmingham in 1905. By 1937, the tower housed a ring of ten bells by Gillet and Johnston of Croydon who in 1949 augmented them to twelve with a tenor weighing thirty one hundredweight tuned to D. We hear the bells ringing Cambridge Surprise Maximus.
