Time now for Bells on Sunday which today comes from the church of St. Mary the Virgin, Hanbury in Worcestershire.  You may hear these bells more often than you think because The Archers uses them as the fictional “St. Stephen’s Church”. The present ring of eight bells was last cast before the Second World War by John Taylor of Loughborough.  We now hear them ringing Single Oxford Bob 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.
