BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St Margaret's Church, Dunham Massey

Church bells from St Margaret's Church, Dunham Massey.

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from St Margaret's Church, Dunham Massey in Altrincham, Cheshire. There are ten bells all cast in 1854 specifically for the church, whilst it was still under construction. They were rehung in 1974 with only minimal retuning and the Tenor remains a "maiden" or untuned bell. We hear them ringing, Bristol Surprise Royal.

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