BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St Leonard's Church, Shipham

Church bells from St Leonard's Church, Shipham.

This week's Bells on Sunday, comes from St. Leonard's Church, Shipham in Somerset. The church, with its unusual octagonal tower, is a Victorian rebuild of 1842. The first recorded peal of the present bells was on the 28th January 1928. We hear them ringing Plain Bob 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.
