BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St Peter's, Congleton

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from St Peter's Church, Congleton, in Cheshire. The tower holds a peal of eight bells from various foundries cast between 1720 and 1867. The tenor weighs thirteen and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to F. The first full peal of five thousand and forty changes was rung on Christmas Day 1867. We hear them now ringing Stedman Triples.

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