BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, Bells on Sunday comes from St Matthew, Chapel Allerton, Leeds.

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Matthew, Chapel Allerton, Leeds in West Yorkshire. The tower contains a peal of six bells cast by Taylor’s of Loughborough in 1946. They were hung dead – that is, not set up for change ringing – at the time and it was not until 1954 that they were hung as a ringing peal. The Tenor weighs seven and a half hundredweight and is tuned to B flat. We hear them ringing Plain Bob Doubles.
