Bells on Sunday comes from the Cathedral Church of St Mary the Virgin with St Paul in Blackburn, Lancashire. Raised to a Cathedral when the Diocese of Blackburn was created in 1926, there has been a church on this site since Saxon times. By 1818, the parish church buildings were in such disrepair that a new Parish Church was built and an old ring of six bells transferred from the old to the new parish church. Today there are ten bells, cast in 1949 by John Taylor of Loughborough with a tenor weighing twenty five and a quarter hundredweight, tuned to D. We hear the heaviest eight bells, ringing Bristol Surprise Major.
