Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Mary Easebourne in West Sussex situated in the centre of the South Downs National Park. The church was heavily restored in the late 19th century but retains some original 12th century fabric including the North-West Tower. There are eight bells, the oldest of which dates from the early 16th century. The Tenor bell weighs eleven hundredweight and is tuned to the note of G. We hear them ringing Superlative Surprise Major.
