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.
