The church of St Mary Barham in Suffolk

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Mary Barham in Suffolk. The grade one listed church building is medieval in origins with mid-19th century alterations. Until recently the tower housed four bells from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, two of which were cracked and all of which were un-ringable. In 2020 the bells were restored and augmented to a ring of six with a tenor weighing eleven and three quarter hundredweight and tuned to the note of A flat. We hear them ringing London Surprise Minor.
