BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St Bartholomew's, London

Church bells from St Bartholomew's, London.

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from St. Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield in London. The tower has a ring of five bells, with the tenor weighing 51/2 hundredweight. The church was originally founded in 1123 as an Augustinian Priory, and is fortunate to have five bells cast by Thomas Bullisdon around 1510, the only complete pre-reformation ring of more than four bells by one founder. We hear them ringing now, 'Grandsire Doubles'.

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