St Augustine, West Monkton in Somerset

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from St. Augustine, West Monkton in Somerset. The Grade I listed church building dates from the 13th century though the arch of the eighty eight foot tall four storey tower is thought to be part of an earlier church building. There are eight bells, the tenor of which weighs seventeen and three quarter hundredweight. It is tuned to D sharp and was cast by the Loughborough Foundry in 1881. We hear them ringing a 'Grandsire Triples'.
