St Mary and St Chad, Brewood in Staffordshire

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Mary and St Chad in Brewood, Staffordshire. The eight bells were cast in 1896 by Taylors of Loughborough with a tenor weighing twenty one and a half hundredweight and is tuned to E Flat. The bells are notable for being one of the first sets of bells to be tuned using the Scientific or “Simpson” tuning method developed through the late 1890s. We hear them ringing Spliced Surprise Major.
