St Stephen’s Church in Bristol

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from St Stephen’s Church in Bristol. It is recorded that by 1693, there were six bells in the church but by 1759, these had been replaced with a ring of eight bells by Abraham Rudhall of Gloucester. In 1970, they were augmented to a ring of twelve by John Taylor of Loughborough with a tenor nineteen and a quarter hundredweight in the note of E. We hear them ringing Stedman Cinques.
