Time now for Bells on Sunday, which today comes from the parish church of St Erme just north of Truro in Cornwall. The tower contains a ring of six bells. Two of these were cast in 1776 by John Pennington the 4th of Stoke Climsland. In 1906 Taylor's of Loughborough added a further four bells with the tenor, weighing just over eight hundredweight, tuned to G.  We hear them ringing Gold Surprise Minor.
