BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St Mary's Church, Barnes, London

The bells of St Mary's Church, Barnes, London.

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from St. Mary's Church, Barnes in London. The tower was built in the 15th century and the earliest bell was cast in 1575, a further two bells being added later in the 16th century. The present ring of 8 was completed in 1897. The tenor weighs 10 hundredweight and is tuned to G. This week we hear them ringing Bristol Surprise Major.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
