BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, Worcester Cathedral

Bells on Sunday comes from Worcester Cathedral

Time now for Bells on Sunday, which this week comes from Worcester Cathedral. The tower contains fifteen ringing bells tuned to the major scale of B and a large clock bell. The current ringing bells were cast in 1928, replacing an earlier peal dating back to 1869, which had been cast as part of the Cathedral’s Victorian restoration. We hear the back eight bells ringing ‘London Surprise Major.’
