The Cathedral Church of St Thomas of Canterbury in Portsmouth

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Cathedral Church of St Thomas of Canterbury in Portsmouth. Originally founded as a 12th century chapel it was rebuilt in the 17th and early 18th centuries. The central tower features an octagonal wooden cupola with a lantern as a navigational aid to shipping, and a ring of twelve bells all cast by the Taylor foundry of Loughborough. The tenor bell weighs twenty five and a half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of E flat. We hear them ringing Cambridge Surprise Maximus.
