Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Church of St Augustine, in the Kent village of Brookland. Situated on Romney Marsh, St Augustine’s is unusual for its 13th-century wooden bell tower which is detached from the main church building. The tower contains a peal of six bells, the oldest - the fifth - was cast by William Chamberlain in 1440. The tenor bell weighs eight and a half hundredweight and is tuned to A flat. We hear them ringing St Clement’s College Bob Minor.
