The Church of Saint Mary in Bronllys, Powys

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Church of Saint Mary in Bronllys, Powys. St Mary's is a Norman church, rebuilt in the Victorian period but retaining its medieval font, a finely carved 16th-century screen and a detached mediaeval bell tower. In the 18th century there just five bells all cast by Evans of Chepstow. In 1939 they were augmented to a ring of six by Taylors of Loughborough. The Tenor bell weighs seven hundredweight and is tuned to the key of A. We hear them ringing Grandsire Doubles.
