Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Priory Church of St Edith, Monks Kirby in Warwickshire. Dating from 1077 it was originally a Priory to the Benedictine Abbey of Anjou in France. By the 14th century it had nearly fallen into ruin and was reconstructed into the basic structure and shape we see today. There are eight bells of which the Tenor bell weighs twenty four and a half hundredweight and is tuned to D. We hear them ringing Bristol Surprise Major.
