Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St John the Baptist, Hillingdon in Greater London. Of largely 13th and 14th century construction the church was restored in the 19th century by Sir Gilbert Scott. In 1629 the four stage tower was rebuilt and features an octagonal wooden cupola. There are ten bells all cast by Gillet and Johnston foundry of Whitechapel in 1911. The Tenor weighs twenty one and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of E flat. We hear them ringing Stedman Caters.
