BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St Mary the Virgin, Ilminster

Church bells from St Mary the Virgin, Ilminster.

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from St. Mary the Virgin, Ilminster, Somerset, a large Minster church. There have been five bells in the tower from medieval times, augmented to six in 1861 and to eight in 1907. We hear all eight bells ringing here, Grandsire Triples.

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