BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, St Augustine, West Monkton, Somerset

Church bells from St Augustine, West Monkton, Somerset.

Bells on Sunday comes from St. Augustine, West Monkton in Somerset. The seventeen and three quarter hundredweight tenor, tuned to D, was cast by the Loughborough Foundry in 1881. In 1986 the six original bells were re-hung in a steel frame and two more bells were added to form the present ring of eight. We hear them ringing a quarter peal of 'Grandsire 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.
