BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St John the Evangelist, Sidcup, Kent

Church bells from St John the Evangelist, Sidcup, Kent.

Bells on Sunday comes St John the Evangelist Church, Sidcup in Kent. The tower contains a peal of six bells, the four lightest were cast by Thomas Mears the Second in 1843, the fifth and tenor were cast by John Warner and Sons in 1901. All six bells were retuned by Mears and Stainbank in 1950. The tenor weighs eight and three quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the key of A. We hear part of a full peal of Single Oxford Bob Minor.

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