St. Leonard's Church in Streatham, Greater London

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from St. Leonard's Church in Streatham, Greater London. Dating from about 1350, St Leonard's tower is the oldest structure in Streatham. An inventory compiled in 1547 listed three bells in the tower, by 1906 there were eight bells but these were destroyed by a fire in 1975. In 1981 a new ring of eight bells were cast and installed by the Whitechapel Foundry with a tenor weighing twelve and three quarter hundredweight and tuned to G. We hear them ringing Spliced Surprise Major.
