BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, Durham Cathedral

This week's Bells on Sunday which this Christmas morning comes from Durham Cathedral. Five of the bells date from 1693. The ring of eight was augmented in 1980 to bring the number to ten. The 28 hundredweight tenor is tuned to D. We hear them now ringing 'Grandsire Caters'.

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