The church of St John the Baptist, Burford

Available for over a year

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St John the Baptist, Burford in Oxfordshire. Described by the architectural historian David Verey as "a complicated building which has developed in a curious way from the Norman” it is known for its Merchants' Guild chapel and a memorial to Henry VIII's barber-surgeon. The tower has a peal of eight bells with the tenor weighing seventeen and three quarter hundredweight tuned to E. We hear them ringing Double Norwich Court Bob Major.
