St Peter’s Church in Theberton, Suffolk

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from St Peter’s Church in Theberton, Suffolk. The Grade I listed church building mostly dates from the 12th century with 15th century windows. It features a thatched roof covering the nave and chancel and a round tower with an octagonal upper section. There are six bells of which the heaviest five all date from 1875 and were cast at the Mears & Stainbank foundry in London. The Tenor weighs six and one half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of B flat. We hear them ringing Merchants Return Delight Minor.
