Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Church of St James in Deeping St James, Lincolnshire. The church is situated on the site of a former twelfth century Benedictine Priory. There are six bells, the oldest two of which were cast were cast by Tobias Norris in the early 17th century. In the early 20th century four further bells were cast and installed by the John Taylor foundry of Loughborough. The tenor weighs sixteen and three-quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the key of E flat. We hear them ringing Double Oxford Bob Minor.
