BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, Holy Cross, Woodchurch

Church bells from Holy Cross in Woodchurch, Wirral.

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from the Church of the Holy Cross in Woodchurch on the Wirral. The present bells were recast In 1971 from the old peal of six by the Whitechapel Foundry.
The tenor weighs three and three quarter hundred-weight and is tuned to the key of D. They are one of the lightest peal of church bells in the UK. We hear them ringing 'Cambridge Surprise Major'.
