BBC Radio 4 - Bells on Sunday, The Minster Church of Kingston-upon-Hull in East Yorkshire.

Bells on Sunday comes from the Minster Church of Kingston-upon-Hull in East Yorkshire. The church dates back to about 1300 and is the largest parish church in England by floor area. It contains what is widely acknowledged to be some of the finest medieval brick work in the country. The large central tower houses a chime of twenty five bells and a peal of twelve with three semitone bells, all of which were cast by John Taylor of Loughborough. The tenor weighs twenty five and a half hundredweight and is tuned to D. We hear them ringing Little Bob Royal.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
