Bells on Sunday comes from the Anglican Parish Church of Christ Church, Calgary in Alberta Canada. Founded in 1913 and built in stages it took 32 years to complete and is well known for its stained glass and organ. There are eight bells cast in the 1950’s in a partnership between the British foundries of Gillet and Johnson of London and John Taylor of Loughborough. The Tenor weighs eight and a half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of B flat. We hear them Yorkshire Surprise Major.
