BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St Mary's Church in Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire

Church bells from St Mary's Church in Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire.

Bells on Sunday comes from St. Mary's Church in Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire. The tower contains five bells rung from the Ground Floor. The oldest bells in the tower, the present second and third, were cast by John Keene of Woodstock in Oxfordshire. By 1948, a new Treble had been added and it's dedicated to all the parishioners who served in the Second World War. The tenor, of nine hundred weight, is tuned to G sharp. We hear them ringing 'Plain Bob Doubles'.

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