Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary the Virgin in Bathwick, Somerset.

Time now for Bells on Sunday. Currently there is no ringing taking place across UK towers, a situation not encountered since the Second World War. This week’s recording features the winning bid from the BBC Radio 4 Children In Need auction of November 2013 - St Mary the Virgin in Bathwick, Somerset. The prize was to have their bells specially recorded. The present ring of ten has a tenor of eighteen and three quarter hundredweight tuned to E flat.  We hear them ringing Double Norwich Court Bob Caters.
