BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, All Saints Church, Allesley

Church bells from All Saints Church, Allesley.

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from All Saints Church, Allesley, in the West Midlands. There's been a church on this site for over 800 years. Until 1901 the bells hung as an anti-clockwise ring of 5, but then a clockwise frame for 6 bells was installed. In 1947 two new bells were hung to make a ring of 8, which we hear now ringing Cambridge Surprise Major.
