BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, East Pennard, Somerset

Church bells from All Saints Church, East Pennard in Somerset.

This week's Bells on Sunday come from All Saints Church, East Pennard in Somerset. The church, which dates from the 15th Century, held a ring of three bells until 1740 -when two heavier bells were added - creating the heaviest ring of five in the world. The tenor, tuned to the key of C, weighs twenty four and three quarter hundredweight. The bells were rehung in 1972 and we hear them now ringing Call Changes.
