All Saints church, Helmsley, North Yorkshire

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from All Saints church Helmsley, in North Yorkshire. Situated in Ryedale there has been a church in Helmsley since before the Norman conquest and the churchyard was used as a market place in Anglo-Saxon times. The tower houses a ring of eight bells all cast by the John Taylor foundry of Loughborough. The Tenor bell weighs fifteen quarter hundredweight and is tuned to F sharp. We hear them ringing St Aelred of Rievaulx Little Place Triples. This method is named after the recently opened 41 mile Pilgrim Trail that links the twelve churches in the Benefice of Helmsley and Upper Ryedale with Rievaulx Abbey.
