The Minster Church of All Saints, Rotherham in South Yorkshire.

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Minster Church of All Saints, Rotherham in South Yorkshire. The Minster is a prominent example of Perpendicular Gothic architecture featuring a central tower and spire rising to a height of 180 feet. The ringing of bells from the tower can be traced back to 1501 and by the 18th century it is known there was a ring of six bells. Today there are tweleve bells, all cast by the John Taylor foundry of Loughborough. The Tenor weighs thirty four and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of D-flat. We hear them now ringing Stedman Cinques.
