The church of St Mary le Ghyll in Barnoldswick Lancashire

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Mary le Ghyll in Barnoldswick Lancashire. Founded in 1157 by monks from Kirkstall Abbey, the tower was added in 1524, but it wasn’t until 1723 that the community was able to hang three bells cast by Abraham Rudhall of Gloucester. Last century the bells fell into disuse but in 2010, sufficient funds were raised to augment them to a peal of six and more recently to eight bells. The Tenor bell weighs twelve and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to A flat. We hear them ringing Barnoldswick Treble Bob Minor on the heaviest six bells.
