Bells on Sunday comes from Lincoln Cathedral

Bells on Sunday comes from Lincoln Cathedral. There are two bells in the north west tower and five in the central tower, including Great Tom of Lincoln weighing just over five tons. The south west tower contains a peal of twelve bells cast and hung by John Taylor and Company in 1913 plus a Flat 6th added in 1948. The tenor weighs just under twenty four hundredweight and is tuned to D. We hear them ringing Lincolnshire Surprise Maximus.

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