BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, Merton College, Oxford

Church bells from Merton College, Oxford.

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from Merton College, Oxford. Cast by Christopher Hodson in 1680, these bells are the oldest complete ring of eight by one founder. The tenor weighs 24 hundredweight and is tuned to E flat. We hear now just a short part of a five hour peal of seven and a half thousand changes called Merton College Alliance.

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