The Minster Church of St Peter and St Paul, Howden

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday, comes from the Minster Church of St Peter and St Paul Howden in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The 135-foot-high central tower was completed around 1400, but a fire in 1929 resulted in the complete loss of the old ring of eight bells. In 1931 a new peal of eight was cast at the John Taylor foundry in Loughborough with a Tenor weighing twenty-two and a quarter hundredweight and tuned to E flat. We hear them ringing ‘Stedman Triples’.
