BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St George's, Edinburgh

Church bells from St George's, Edinburgh.

This week's Bells on Sunday, comes from the church of St Andrew's and St George's West, in Edinburgh. This Grade A listed building was completed in 1784 and serves the city's New Town Parish.
The tower holds a peal of eight bells cast by William & Thomas Mears of London in 1788. The tenor weighs fourteen and a half hundredweight and is tuned to E.
We hear now part of a full peal of Marlborough Surprise 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.
