BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St Peter and St Paul, Shiplake

Church bells from the Church of St Peter and St Paul, Shiplake in Oxfordshire.

Bells on Sunday comes from the Church of St Peter and St Paul, Shiplake in Oxfordshire. Shiplake is an accredited ringing centre frequently used by local and visiting ringers for teaching and improving ringing. A new set of bells with the tenor weighing 9 hundredweight, 15 pounds and tuned to G sharp, was cast over the winter of 2009 at the Whitechapel Foundry in London. We hear the bells 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.
